[Seasonal changes in the function of mechanosensitive receptors in the rat skin].
The effect of circannual rhythms on functional properties of the rat skin tactile receptors and nocireceptors, was studied. The effect proved to be quite significant for the cutaneous receptors threshold stimuli and for the parameters of their responses: the latency and AP duration. These changes seem to be determined by hormonal mechanisms.
