[The effect of substance P on the individual and group behaviors of rhesus monkeys].
The tendencies in the substance P influence on the expression of individual and group behaviour of adult males of rhesus macaques have been studied on the background of cardiopathogenic emotional stress (CES) and without it. CES stimulated the general activity of rhesus macaques in the individual cages, while the substance P injection without CES increased the frequency and duration of pathologic behavioral patterns. The maximal influence of substance P was expressed on the 3-4 day of experiments. On the 5th day the intensification of locomotion and social activity was found during the settling of all individuals in the large cage. The definite regularity of connection between the value of arterial pressure before and after experiments and the individual's social ranks is found. The injection of substance P on the CES background and without it the second-ranking individuals stood more hard, the leader and the most subordinated individuals stood easier.
