Behavioral and Physiologic Changes Under Stress After Operations on the Frontal Lobes

Objective Measurement of Sedation I: Introduction: General Considerations

“…Of the observed signs of anxiety many can be measured in quantitative terms. Hypertension and tachycardia due to the autonomic response to stress are well known (Malmo and Shagass, 1949). Some of the symptoms of anxiety are due to increased muscle tension.…”

“…The galvanic skin response to stress has also been studied by Malmo and Shagass (1950). The skin resistance falls during anxiety due to an increase in sweat gland activity.…”
