The specific features of responses to thermal stimulation of the skin in neurons of the thermoregulation centre in the anterior and posterior hypothalamus were investigated in rabbits. Separate neurons were found to respond to temperature changes like skin thermoreceptors. A part of thermal signals from the skin is supposed to arrive to the thermoregulation centre without specific transformation.
