Motor Control of the Wet Dog Shake Behavior in Rats

(1) It is likely that WDS and paw shaking share a common nervous control. (2) The absence of typical postural responses may indicate that body balance in WDS is maintained by perfectly matched frequency and strength of the trunk muscle contractions. (3) In the hypothesis about the origin of WDS, based on the revealed characteristics, we compare it with the S-start response behavior in fish.

Abstract

(1) It is likely that WDS and paw shaking share a common nervous control. (2) The absence of typical postural responses may indicate that body balance in WDS is maintained by perfectly matched frequency and strength of the trunk muscle contractions. (3) In the hypothesis about the origin of WDS, based on the revealed characteristics, we compare it with the S-start response behavior in fish.
