title: [Dynamic defensive and feeding reactions to the acquisition of sensitization in edible snails].
abstract: In snails changes of defensive and alimentary behaviour and of reactions of command and modulator neurones of these kinds of behaviour were studied during elaboration of sensitization. After a single action of 50% chinine solution on mollusc's head, a short-term (during 50-70 min) and long-term (hours or days) facilitation was found of animals defensive reactions and responses of command neurones of defensive behaviour to tactile and chemical sensory stimuli. Alimentary behaviour of the snails and reactions of modulator neurones of alimentary behaviour to carrot juice presentation were inhibited in sensitized animals. Dynamics differences of defensive responses to tactile and chemical stimuli in the same sensitized animals were observed. Short-term responses facilitation under sensitization correlated chiefly with depolarization of the membrane potential of defensive behaviour neurones and with an increase of plasmatic membrane excitability. Prolonged facilitation of responses was due mainly to a change of effectiveness of synaptic transmission. The described model of sensitization elaboration can be a base for studying of molecular-cellular mechanisms, underlying the learning.
