Abstract
The heat production of stimulated nerve occurs in two main stages, initial and recovery. The first object of this paper is to define and distinguish the initial heat more clearly; the second is to present fresh evidence that the recovery heat occurs in two phases, the first complete in a few seconds, the second only in 30 minutes. Since an earlier paper (Hill, 1932,
a
) was written, various attempts have been made to quicken up the recording system of thermopile and galvanometer, so as to secure a sharper analysis of the heat. A new thermopile has been constructed by Mr. A. C. Downing, with soldered constantan-iron couples and bakelite insulation. It is no more sensitive than the old one, but possesses the great advantage for some purposes that it is so well shielded from heat leaking from the stimulating electrodes that a correction is seldom necessary.
