BRAIN STEM STIMULATION AND ETHOLOGICAL STUDIES ON BIRDS.
Abstract
The work was specifically intended to elucidate further the physiological mechanisms of some particular types of behavior in birds using in combination brain stimulation and observation techniques. Studies were made of the interactions between internal and external stimulation and of the interactions occurring during simultaneous stimulation of two different areas of the brain, which yield either similar or differing types of behavior. The experimental animals have chosen for this work were Hering Gulls, whose behavior is simpler, i.e. more stereotyped, than that of the classically studied mammals.
