Localized cooling in the brain.
A slender refrigeration probe for the production of reversible discrete lesions within the central nervous system of man and experimental animals is described. Cooling, in the region of the third nerve nucleus in cats, produced pupillary dilatation which was quickly reversed when the temperature around the third nerve nucleus returned to normal.
