“…The fact that perceived stressful occasions (e.g. during a movie or prior to a sporting contest) increase body temperature in humans has been known for a long time [2,3]. However, it was not until decades later that the SIH response was used as a putative rodent anxiety test when it was noticed that removing mice one by one from a grouphoused cage reproducibly increased body temperature of the last mouse compared to the first [4].…”

Exposure to acute psychological or physical stress increases core body temperature (stress-induced hyperthermia, SIH) which is part of the autonomic stress response. SIH is used as a putative rodent anxiety paradigm in which anxiolytic drugs reduce the SIH response. The predictive validity of the SIH paradigm has proven to be good, making it suitable to detect the putative anxiolytic properties of drugs. So far, GABA receptor agonists including benzodiazepines and hypnotics have proven to attenuate the SIH response. The GABAA receptor has been known to be closely involved in the acute stress response. Also, the recent development of compounds with selective efficacy for different subunits at the benzodiazepine site of the GABAA receptor has renewed interest for the therapeutic potential of GAB ergic drugs. Moreover, metabotropic (GABAB) receptor agonists reduce the SIH response. GABAB receptors are ubiquitously expressed in the central nervous system, and there is evidence for a role of the GABAB receptor in anxiety. Thus, both drugs acting on the GABAA and the GABAB receptor are generally able to attenuate the SIH response, and this review presents a detailed overview of the effects of both drug classes on the SIH response. As the GABA receptor family is diverse and complex, this paradigm may contribute to the elucidation of the putative effects of GABA ergic drugs in emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression

“…These results are consistent with those obtained for superficial body temperature of birds. Behavior is generally considered to be the most effective form of body temperature regulation (Schlader et al, 2011). Increase or decrease of body surface temperature in birds maintained in the same conditions could indicate higher or lower intensity of heaters movements (Refinetti et al, 1989) or indicate presence of acute stress (Olivier et al, 2003).…”

“…Increase or decrease of body surface temperature in birds maintained in the same conditions could indicate higher or lower intensity of heaters movements (Refinetti et al, 1989) or indicate presence of acute stress (Olivier et al, 2003). Acute stress or stress-induced hyperthermia is mediated by the autonomic nervous system and occurs before and during exposure to anxiogenic stimuli or stress inducers such as noise, heat, handling, novelty or pain (Kleitman, 1945;Renbourn, 1960;Bermant et al, 1979;Briese, 1995;Briese and DeQuijada, 1970;Marazziti et al,1992). Thus, it is possible to presume that collard green stalks did not increase heating movements and consequently did not affect the bird's thermal status.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of collard green stalks as environmental enrichment on the behavior of cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus) maintained in captivity. Sixteen birds were housed individually in cages and fed a commercial diet for parrots and seed mix, with water ad libitum during 12 days in climatic chamber with temperature and relative humidity simulating tropical conditions. The animals (n = 8) were divided into two groups, control and enriched, and the experimental period was divided into two phases (during and after enrichment) of four days each. The collard green stalks were used as enrichment only during the first period of the experiment, daily changed and maintained only during the day. The stalks increased the feed intake and decreased the sleep activities. No effect was observed on the body surface temperature, locomotion, maintenance and other resting activities. Small undesirable activities were detected. It was concluded that collard green stalks can be used as environmental enrichment, becoming part of food preferences of cockatiels. However, its use does not significantly alter the behavior of birds kept in captivity

“…Because metabolism produces heat, body temperature might provide an index of arousal. Renbourn (1960) reported higher temperature among boxers than among spectators just before a fight; he also reviewed numerous studies linking arousal and temperature. Skin temperature is affected by the exchange of heat between skin and air, but temperature inside the body is shielded more effectively from the outside environment.…”

Arousal can be thought of as basic metabolic activity, which produces heat. Considerable metabolic activity takes place in the brain. Temperature measured at the tympanic membrane (eardrum) is highly correlated with core temperature at the hypothalamus and may provide an index of arousal. In two experiments tympanic temperature was observed to increase during social interaction. Temperature increased less with three partners than with one, possibly due to the diffusion of attention from others.The concept of arousal is widely employed by psychologists. Arousal is usually regarded as a generalized drive state which provides the motive force behind specific patterns of behavior. Zajonc (1965) has argued that people are aroused by the presence of others, and that this arousal facilitates performance of simple and well-learned tasks but interferes with more complex behavior. Unfortunately there is no simple measure of arousal, and in the social facilitation literature arousal is generally inferred from performance rather than measured directly. Malmo (1959) points out that arousal is variously regarded as energy release, neural activity, or a purely hypothetical construct. The most basic and straightforward formulation seems to us to be that of Duffy (1962), who defines arousal, or activation, as the release of an organism's stored energy through metabolic activity in the tissues. But the measures typically used--muscular tension, electrical activity in the skin or brain, respiration, cardiovascular phenomena--are a step removed from metabolic processes.Total metabolism can be measured by monitoring the calories of oxygen consumed, but this is hard to do and can mask arousal occurring independently in different parts of the body. Because metabolism produces heat, body temperature might provide an index of arousal. Renbourn (1960) reported higher temperature among boxers than among spectators just before a fight; he also reviewed numerous studies linking arousal and temperature. Skin temperature is affected by the exchange of heat between skin and air, but temperature inside the body is shielded more effectively from the outside environment.Internal temperature might provide an index of arousal at specific locations.The present study examined temperature at the tympanic membrane (eardrum). Tympanic temperature is correlated with core temperature at the hypothalamus (Rawson & Hammel, 1963), where temperature control centers are located, and can be uncorrelated or even negatively correlated with skin temperature (Benzinger, 1963). Tympanic thermometers are routinely used for monitoring temperature under general anesthesia during surgery.The device we used (from Radiation Systems, McLean, Virginia) employs a thermocouple embedded in a fine (.8-mm) and extremely pliable plastic lead, which the subject inserts into his ear. The device registers temperature on a panel meter and emits a dc signal which can be used with remote recording equipment. Changes in temperature can be detected quickly and precisely.
