Mean curves for excitability versus temperature for various groups of animals used in this study. Animals "active at 5°C" had previously hibernated. ture coefficients are also observed in the overall changes of metabolic rate (Kayser, 1940; Hock, 1951). On the other hand, much lower temperature coefficients are found for isolated tissues including brain (South, 1958; Meyer and Morrison. 1960). The linear relationships between temperature and conduction or excitability suggest "physical changes" in the nerve, perhaps.
