Effects of temperature on the spike activity of cortical neurons in guinea pigs.
Studies on parietal cortex slices from guinea pigs showed that a decrease in temperature from 37 degrees C to 24 degrees C significantly decreased the level of spontaneous neuron activity, while activatory reactions to iontophoretic administration of glutamate showed no significant change.
