Numerous experiments on animals to determine the effect of ether anesthesia _per se_, _i. e_., ether anesthesia without trauma, showed that, although certain changes were produced, these included neither the physiologic exhaustion nor the alterations in the brain-cells which are characteristic of the effects of trauma. On turning to the study of trauma, we at once found in the behavior of individuals as a whole under deep and under light anesthesia the clue to the cause of the discharge of energy, of the consequent physiologic exhaustion, and of the morphologic changes in the brain-cells.英文原著 · 《The Origin and Nature of Emotions》
Fear.--Our experiments have shown that the brain-cell changes due to fear may be divided into two stages: First, that of hyperchromatism-- stimulation; second, that of hypochromatism--exhaustion (Figs. 5 and 13). Hyperchromatism was shown only in the presence of the activating stimuli or within a very short time after they had been received. This state gradually changed until the period of maximum exhaustion was reached--about six hours later. Then a process of reconstruction began and continued until the normal state was again reached.英文原著 · 《The Origin and Nature of Emotions》
In hibernating woodchucks, the cells of the adrenal cortex were found to be vacuolated and shrunken. In one hundred hours of insomnia, in surgical shock, in strong fear, in exhaustion from fighting, after peptone injections, in acute infections, the adrenals undergo histologic changes characteristic of exhaustion (Figs. 66 to 67).英文原著 · 《The Origin and Nature of Emotions》
Rome rose dizzily to one knee. Jasper turned, gasping, and lay with his face to the rock. For a while both were quiet, Rome, panting with open mouth and white with exhaustion, looking down now and then at the Lewallen, whose face was turned away with shame.英文原著 · 《A Cumberland Vendetta》
The tears began to roll down his wasted face from loneliness and exhaustion. He grew hungry with longing for the dirty but familiar cabins of the camp, and staggered along with eyes half closed, conjuring visions of the warm inte- riors, the leaping fires, the groups of laughing men seen dimly through clouds of tobacco-smoke.英文原著 · 《A Mountain Woman》
I scarcely think so. But I want to be sincere. I would rather exaggerate than minimize my own shortcomings to you to-night. I scarcely believe it ever could have been so. But Panacci said it was so. And you--I don't know what you have thought--"
"What I have thought doesn't matter now."
She spoke very quietly, but not with bitterness. She knew Artois. And even in that moment of emotion, and of a sort of strange exhaustion following upon emotion, she knew, as no other living person could have known, the effort it must have cost him to speak as he had just spoken.英文原著 · 《A Spirit in Prison》
