| Abstract: | Rate of reactions in motor conditioned electro-defensive reflexes and different kinds of internal inhibition, such as acute extinction, differentiation and delay with different retardations, were studied on monkeys in primatological chair. Specificity in formation of conditioned reactions was studied with simultaneous recording of vegetative (respiration and heart rate) and motor conditioned reactions. It has been established, that forming of vegetative and motor components of defensive reflex does not proceed synchronously. At first (2-4 trials) vegetative reactions appear, such as increase of heart and respiration rates. Conditioned motor reactions (legs' jerks) appear later, after 4-9 trials. It has been shown that in monkeys in the primatological chair we have a possibility to form all kinds of negative conditioned defensive reactions: acute extinction, differentiation, delay. Formation of delay inhibition with retardation of 90 s leads to neurotic disorders. But they last only for short periods and disappear after breaks in work. The obtained data are discussed from evolutionary point of view, with a comparative study of specificity of higher nervous activity formation among lower organized vertebrates and with consideration of processes of excitation and inhibition in evolution. |
