I think narcolepsy is a little bit different. The goats actually remain conscious throughout, it's a muscular as apposed to neural thingy.
Anyone else know about this? Mikes 1000th post countdown......11 to go This post has been edited by mike-oh: May 15 2005, 11:55 -------------------- |

True I was commenting on the similarities where it's a neurolgical condition bought on by forms of excitment.
Info taken from a site for Narcolepsy QUOTE The other conspicuous symptom is a sudden loss of muscular control triggered by amusement, anger or excitement which is called cataplexy. Other symptoms of Narcolepsy are: Temporary paralysis on falling asleep or awakening (sleep paralysis). So the paralysis is a similar condition but it was actually cataplexy I was thinking about in the documentary mentioned above, I just forgot the name of it. -------------------- 3 mobile where the words "customer" and "service" only exists in the dictionary

Don't know much but quite an unfortunate genetic trait. How did they ever survive?

QUOTE(mike-oh @ May 17 2005, 02:59) The genetic trait probably arose through selective breeding during domestication. Understandable and the logical answer. I should have been more specific. You think this was a trait selected for or a piggy-back trait to another trait of interest? |

Probably nearer a piggy back type thing. But i reckon it's actually an abnormality that has been brought about as a result of selective breeding. In much the same way that inbreeding in humans can lead to things like extended coxics (sp?) so it looks like they have a tail! (ask anyone one from the Isle of Portland, Dorset
 ). Genes can do funny things!Mikes 1000th post countdown.....only 4 left! -------------------- |
