Intradermal electrical stimulation of sudomotor nerves and local sweat rate

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Neuron discharge variability can offer some advantages to a downstream physiological response. We examined this possibility with respect to sudomotor nerve activity and local sweat rate. Variable neuron discharge activity, induced by intradermal electrical stimulation, did not have an impact on the peak local sweat rate but did reduce the time to sweating onset and the stimulus intensity required to reach 50% of peak sweating (EC 50 ).
