“…Thanatosis has been studied for over a century and appears in a variety of vertebrates and invertebrates. These animals include 8 amphibians (e.g., Gargaglioni et al 2001, Bertoluci et al 2007, birds (e.g., Sargeant & Eberhardt 1975;Rovee et al 1976), fish (e.g., Howe, 1991;Gibran, 2004), mammals (e.g., Francq, 1969;Kimble, 1997), reptiles (e.g., Greene, 1988;Santos et al, 2010;Burghardt & Greene, 1988;Harding, 1997), spiders (e.g., Cloudsley-Thompson, 1995), and a staggering array of insects: beetles (Chemsak & Linsley, 1970;Prohammer and Wade, 1981;Allen, 1990;Oliver, 1996;Acheampong & Mitchell, 1997;Miyatake, 2001a,b;Miyatake et al, 2004), cicada (Villet, 1999), crickets (Nishino & Sakai, 1996), lepidopterans (Tojo et al, 1985;Dudley, 1989;Larsen, 1991), mantids (Edmunds, 1972),…”

The current study provides evidence of learned helplessness in the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.). Bees received either avoidable or unavoidable shock during a discriminative compartment restriction task in an automated shuttle box. Decreased avoidance behavior was observed when bees received unavoidable shock prior to avoidable shock tests, conserving a non-preference response pattern. Prior training with avoidable shock created a preference that was conserved when shock was later unavoidable. Length of the training time impacted how pronounced the conserved behavior was in subsequent tests. Unlike existing learned helplessness studies in other animals, no decrease in general activity was observed. These findings identify honey bees as a unique model organism to explore the process of learned helplessness.v

“…The response, which is typically brought about by brief restraint, has been hypothesized by Ratner (1967) to be the last stage in predator defense. Consistent with this hypothesis are the observations of Sargeant and Eberhardt (1975) that ducks that show TI when captured by foxes are more likely to survive than ducks that do not. In addition, a number of investigators have hypothesized that fear is involved in the response in some way (Gallup, 1974;Ratner, 1967).…”

“…Under natural conditions, tonic immobility is thought to serve as the terminal defense reaction in a sequential series of distance-dependent predator defenses (for reviews, see Ratner, 1967;Sargeant & Eberhardt, 1975). Recently, it has also been suggested that TI may be related to the type of immobility shown during the retrieval reflex in young mam-mals (Hatton, Reinstein, & Meyer, Note 1) and the lordosis response in female rats (Naggar & Komisaruk, 1977).…”

The effects of serotonin metabolites on tonic immobility in chickens (Gallus gallus): Dose and time response curves

et al. 1980

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The effects of melatonin and 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA) on tonic immobility in chickens were examined at various dosages and after several different postinjection time periods. Both of these metabolic byproducts of serotonin produced increases in duration of immobility at 10 min postinjection, but melatonin was much more potent than 5-HIAA. In addition, melatonin· produced a decrease in the duration of tonic immobility at 120 min postinjection, while 5-HIAA projuced a decrease at 60 min postinjection, which was followed by another increase in duration of immobility at 120 min. These results are discussed in terms of possible neurotransmitters and a central feedback system between brain levels of serotonin, its metabolites, and duration of tonic immobility.
