| If correct, phobotaxis, strophotaxis, and thigmotaxis are thus consequences, and not the causes, of the observed movements. |
| Both fight control and thigmotaxis involve mechanoreceptive inputs from different parts of the body. |
| Wood lice exhibit positive thigmotaxis, i.e., they prefer to be in contact with a surface. |
| Conversely, psychomotor stimulants tend to increase locomotion and exploration without altering thigmotaxis. |
| It has been found, however, that Typhlichthys subterraneus does have a strong thigmotaxis and keeps the top of its head touching and parallel to surfaces. |
