[Change of afferent impulsing of peripheral nerve caused by polarized light with various wave lengths].
Change of impulse activity in branches of n. saphenus caused by influence of linearly polarized light with various wave lengths on the skin of rat's hind limb was studied. It was established that polarized light effect on skin receptor endings depended on wave length. Exposure of skin to red and blue parts of spectrum increased afferent impulsing of peripheral nerve for a short time, and influence of polychromatic polarized light (400-2000 nm) significantly decreased it for a long time (like lidocaine effect).
