Even allowing for the absence of speech in lower animals, nothing remotely comparable has been reported.”)

When this happened very quickly the intruders, equally suddenly, became entirely passive and allowed themselves to be carried about by the guard bees (Fig. 7). Those intruders which assumed this condition of thanatosis were only observed to move their antennae very slightly and slowly from time to time. When the guards eventually released intruders that had been in this entirely passive state the intruders cleaned themselves up and continued on their way towards the hive entrance apparently quite unhurt. Examples of thanatosis were only seen infrequently although, during the course of this work, a great many intruders were observed very closely while they were being examined or mauled.”)

(As evidence for genetic involvement in Ti, substantial strain differences were found among different breeds of chicks. In an attempt to relate the differences in immobility to more conventional measures of emotionality, open-field activity, defecation, and adrenal weight data were collected. Cross-breeding yielded hybrids which showed intermediate immobility durations.)

In attempting to trace the development of the physiological aspect, he attaches more importance (and worse, devotes more space) to animal hypnosis than would generally be thought to be warranted.

Even in the womb guinea pig fetuses are not noted for their immobility, and certainly not in their later states of development.”

If so, take a hen without any special characteristics, place her on a table, holding the beak against the surface. Take a piece of chalk and draw a line the length of the beak, continuing a strong line on the table’s surface. Leave her alone and she will sit scared and immobile, watching the line without moving her eyes. If the observers stand very still, the hen will not fly away. The same thing will happen when one holds her tightly against the table and covers her eyes with a blindfold.”)

The dopamine beta-hydroxylase inhibitor, l-phenyl-3-(2-thiazolyl)-2-thioures, acts to deplete brain norepinephrine, but it failed to significantly influence TI duration. Negative results were also obtained with the dopamine beta-hydroxylase inhibitor 5-n-butyl-picolinamide. All studies were with chickens.)

Unverified References

  • The references which follow could not be verified. However, they probably exist. In most cases the journal title, volume, or year of publication was incorrect as originally referenced. The reader should also note that the National Union Catalog does not list holdings in libraries other than the United States and Canada. Danilewski (1915) and Mangold (1929), for example, may be available in libraries elsewhere. Publications appearing in Rev. Hypnot. could not be verified in time for publication, but such verification should not be difficult.
