Long-term examinations on test persons of an average age of 28 years were carried out by means of thermistors for measuring the mucous membrane temperature and by means of photo transistors for measuring the state of cavernous tissues. The tactile stimulus during the insertion of the probe regularly leads to a temperature increase and a swelling of the nasal mucous membrane. Pronounced changes in the temperature do not take a linear course but are interrupted by intercurrent temperature inversions. The changes in the state of cavernous tissues take a course synchronous to this. After the first tactile stimulus there adjusts a preliminary temperature equilibrium in the mucous membrane temperature and in the cavernous state. Then there follow temperature oscillations taking a completely different course, of changing amplitudes and frequencies. These temperature oscillations may take courses in the same or in opposite directions in the two nose halves. The causes proposed for discussion, on the one hand for the intercurrent temperature inversions in case of considerable temperature changes, and on the other hand for the differing temperature oscillations after the attainment of the preliminary temperature equilibrium, are central regulating mechanisms, while at the same time analogous animal experiments are taken into consideration.
对平均年龄为28岁的受试者进行了长期检查，通过热敏电阻测量黏膜温度，通过光电晶体管测量海绵体组织状态。探头插入过程中的触觉刺激通常会导致温度升高和鼻黏膜肿胀。温度的明显变化并非呈线性过程，而是被间歇性的温度反转打断。海绵体组织状态的变化与之同步。第一次触觉刺激后，黏膜温度和海绵体状态会调整到初步的温度平衡。然后会出现温度振荡，其变化过程完全不同，幅度和频率各异。这些温度振荡在两个鼻腔半部可能同向或反向。对于温度大幅变化时出现的间歇性温度反转以及达到初步温度平衡后不同的温度振荡，所提出供讨论的原因是中枢调节机制，同时也考虑了类似的动物实验。
