Spontaneous thermoregulatory oscillations in cutaneous efferent sympathetic activity.
Patterns of changes in cutaneous efferent sympathetic activity which have previously been shown to occur during experimental manipulation of the temperature of various thermosensitive body sites, have now been shown to accompany spontaneous thermoregulatory activity. That is, under thermoneural conditions, concurrent spontaneous oscillations in skin blood flow and efferent sympathetic activity were observed.
