Abstract
In the present study 20 white rats from 2 to 12 mos. of age and of both sexes were anesthetized by exposure to pure gasoline (administered in a volatile gaseous state) and the induction and recovery sequences carefully noted. The results were essentially the same for all ages and both sexes and closely resembled the results obtained with recognized anesthetics (ethyl ether, cyclopropane, nitrous oxide, and ethyl alcohol), i.e., caudocephalad induction and cephalo-caudad recovery. The relationship between the implications of these results and the concept of the organism as "mere reflexological construct" are discussed.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
