TI Differential cholinergic influences on the immobility response in various strains of domestic fowl

QU Pharmacology, Biochemistry and Behavior 1988 Jul; 30(3): 625-34

PT journal article

AB A series of five experiments examined the effects of two anticholinergic drugs, atropine and scopolamine, on the duration of tonic immobility (TI) and susceptibility to the TI response in both Production Red and White Leghorn chickens (Gallus gallus), in an attempt to resolve previous contradictory findings about the effects of cholinergic manipulations on tonic immobility. These two anticholinergic drugs significantly reduced the duration of TI and, therefore, supported the conclusion that cholinergic systems are involved with the immobility response. However, the effects of these drugs on TI differed depending on the age, strain, local population, and handling experience of the individual birds.
