Abstract
Influence of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) on catecholaminergic brain sys tem and development of early behavioural patterns was studied in 1-20- days-old Wistar rats. after 6-OHDA neonatal injection the number on ca techolaminergic terminals in deep layers of pons-medulla was considera bly reduced while the number of catecholaminergic neurons was 2-3 time s increased. Damage of catecholaminergic innervation of the forebrain of rats was shown to cause a delay in development of washing behaviour , searching activity and disturbance of orientation in new environment .
