进行了三项研究，以确定行走和头浸行为是否对环境或药理学变量有不同的反应。第一项研究表明，在相邻的盒子里有另一只动物的存在会减少头朝下的行为，但对行走没有显著影响。第二项研究表明，这种效果是由于相邻盒子的视觉刺激。第三项研究表明，东莨菪碱影响头部下沉，但不影响行走。结论是，行走和低头是不同的行为，而不是同一行为——探索的不同表现，因此受到不同脑功能的影响。
Three studies were conducted to determine if ambulation and head-dipping behavior were differentially responsive to environmental or pharmacological variables. The first study showed that the presence of another animal in an adjacent box reduced head-dipping behavior but had no significant effect on ambulation. The second study showed that this effect was due to visual stimulation from the adjacent box. The third study showed that scopolamine affected head dipping but not ambulation. The conclusion is that ambulation and head dipping are different behaviors rather than different manifestations of the same behavior-exploration-and are, therefore, under the influence of different brain functions.
