MONOAMINE CHANGES IN THE BRAIN - INFLUENC E ON REACTION OF EMOTIONAL RESONANCE

Unfluence of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5HTP) and disulfiram on a reaction o f emotional resonance (RER) was studied in two groups of female rats: I - with good and II - with poor elaboration of RER and, corresponding ly, with the minimal and the maximal time oif stay in the dark compart ment. One week after 5HTP injection good elaboration of RER in animals of the I group was substituted for poor. In the II group of animals R ER was unchanged. Injection of disulfiram increased the stay in the da rk compartment in the I group and decreased it in the II group. At the same time dopamine content in the midbrain and medulla increased. The results confirm the hypothesis on participation of monoamines and the ir different contribution in RER realization in different groups of an imals.
