The effects of head only or waterbath electrical stunning on somatosensory evoked responses in the brain of turkeys were examined. When head only stunning with a sinusoidal AC of 50 Hz was followed within 15 s by neck cutting the evoked responses were absent following the stun. When neck cutting was not performed, the evoked responses returned from 30 s after the stun. When currents between 120 and 250 mA were used in a waterbath stunner some birds retained their evoked responses immediately after the current was applied. The proportion of birds that retained their responses after the stun was not related to the level of the current that was applied.
研究了仅头部电击或水浴电击对火鸡大脑体感诱发电位的影响。当用50Hz的正弦交流电仅对头部进行电击，随后在15秒内进行颈部切断时，电击后诱发电位消失。当不进行颈部切断时，诱发电位在电击后30秒恢复。当在水浴电击器中使用120至250mA的电流时，一些鸟类在施加电流后立即保留了它们的诱发电位。电击后仍保留反应的鸟类比例与所施加电流的水平无关。
