The literature related to one form of septal dysfunction ‐ hyper‐reactivity ‐ is reviewed. The increase in reactivity following septal damage is considered in terms of its reliability and the many factors which influence its attenuation and release. Research discussed includes the topics of anatomical locus of septal damage, species and strain investigated, pre‐ and post‐operative handling, neurochemical factors, and the relationship of hyper‐reactivity to other septal dysfunctions and other anatomical structures.
