Predatory Attack, Grooming, and Consummatory Behaviors Evoked by Electrical Stimulation of Cat Cerebellar Nuclei

Abstract

Experimental evidence supports the concept that solutes capable of reversible chemical reaction can passively facilitate thermnal conduction within their solutions. Myoglobin and bicarbonate are suggested as energy carriers in muscle, having the combined capacity for conveying all waste metabolic heat produced under normal physiological conditions. The concept is extended to convective heat transfer in vivo; this implicates hemoglobin.
