A neuropharmacological analysis of the compensatory-recovery processes in organic failure of the parafascicular complex of the thalamus]

On the model of biological precursors of thinking in animals (cats), in conditions of free behaviour it has been shown that after neurosurgical lesion of various parts of the parafascicular complex restoration is possible of the disturbed functions of generalization and abstraction by neuropharmacological drugs acting on cholinergic, dopaminergic and GABA-ergic systems. Complex interactions are observed between transmitter structures.
