A method of recording the current flowing along the 1st segment of myelin on an axon from a pacinian corpuscle is descr. Deflections recorded in 1 direction probably represent activity of the non-myelinated terminal in the corpuscle, while those in the other, acitivity at the 1st and subsequent nodes of Ranvier. Three phases are seen in records from a fresh prepn., stimulated with a rapid mechanical pulse; (1) a receptor potential, graded to stimulus strength, (2) an impulse occurring at the axon terminal in the pacinian corpuscle, and (3) activity of the 1st node of Ranvier. The impulse at the axon terminal can be abolished by an amt. of procaine insufficient to cause much change in the receptor potential. Receptor potentials summate. Possible mechanisms are considered.
