no get up and go
only reason to wonder
watching as the world turns without you
stuck pondering inponderables
frozen in thoughtrat translation:
low scores on the "forced swim test"
high scores on "learned helplessness"i actually put amphetamines into rats during a study on amphetamines and maze learning, etc... and before the lab had motion detecting software, you would simply sit and count how many times the fuzzy white guys would run from side to side and that would qualify as "mobility". high number's = non leaden paralysis.
if you shock a rat no matter what it does to avoid the shock, it will just sit there and suffer...
i think drooling is a sign...in humans
