Bandage-backfall reaction: occurs in infancy, hypothalamic damage, and catalepsy.
In cataleptic clinging, produced either by catecholamine-blocking drugs or lateral hypothalamic damage in adult cats, rats, or monkeys, bandaging the face and neck causes the head to fall backwards. Early in development, a similar reaction can be seen in normal undrugged infants.
