Abstract
Changes in temperature regulation were compared with morphological changes in various parts of the CNS of unanesthetized albino rats cooled by different methods. The role of afferent impulses from the cooled tissues and of thermoregulatory excitation of nervous structures in the genesis of morphological changes in neurons of the reticular formation, mammillary bodies, and spinal cord was established. Morphological changes in cortical neurons are evidently due to the direct action of cold on the brain.
