Published: July 2005

Studies on slices of the parietal cortex of the guinea-pig brain showed that a change in temperature from 20 degrees C to 36 degrees C led to increases in responses to microintophoretic application of acetylcholine to individual nerve cells. The greatest changes occurred over two temperature ranges: 27-29 degrees C and 34-36 degrees C. Increases in the cholinergic response were accompanied by increases in the spontaneous activity of the neurons.
