title: Pharmacological profile of wet-dog shaking induced by electrical stimulation of the fornix in rats.
abstract: Electrical stimulation of the fornix evoked body shaking in conscious rats. Stimulation of nucleus interstitialis stria terminalis failed to cause shaking. Fornix-evoked shaking was most consistently inhibited by drugs that modify brain noradrenergic function.
