Head-Twitch Response
Term of head-twitch response (HTR) refers to rapid horizontally head shaking behaviour in time of less than 50 ms. Head-twitch response is an abnormal pharmacological response of mice, caused by hyperstimulation of 5-HT2A receptors of serotonin.[1] Neuroanatomical focus of head-twitch response is prefrontal cortex.[2] Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), a hallucinogen on human, causes head-twitch response and so, HTR is admitted as hallucination model in mice.
