Transmission of low temperature information in the rat trigeminal system.
Recordings have been made from cold-receptive neurons in trigeminal nucleus caudalis to define the lower receptive field temperatures at which the neurons become silent. Most cells were found to become silent at 0 degrees C, but a few were still active at skin temperatures of -5 degrees C.
