Abstract
The researchers who, three centuries ago, applied the term “hypnosis” to catalepsy in animals most probably did so because of the similar appearance of these two conditions. From the results of subsequent investigations, it is justifiable to regard the term “animal hypnosis” as highly appropriate. Motor inhibition in animals and the state of hypnotic trance in man appear to be genetically interrelated, have a similar adaptive significance and, in all probability, possess certain common neurophysiological mechanisms.
