The effect of neck dislocation, by stretching or by crushing, on the ability of the chicken's brain to sustain visual evoked responses was compared with the effect of a percussive blow. Less than 10 per cent of the birds whose necks were dislocated showed signs of concussion. It was concluded that neck dislocation may not concuss chickens, and that it is therefore uncertain whether it induces instantaneous unconsciousness.
通过拉伸或挤压造成的颈部脱臼对鸡脑维持视觉诱发电位能力的影响，与撞击造成的影响进行了比较。颈部脱臼的鸡中，不到10%表现出脑震荡迹象。得出的结论是，颈部脱臼可能不会使鸡发生脑震荡，因此不确定它是否会导致瞬间失去意识。
