title: Arterial hypertension in dogs with experimental informational pathology of their higher nervous activity.
abstract: It is shown that stable arterial hypertension can be formed in dogs by the development of experimental pathology of higher nervous activity (behavior) as a result of prolonged brain work during exposure to a combination of three unfavorable factors: a large volume of information to be processed and assimilated, shortage of time allowed for the work, and a high level of motivation of behavior. Three types of development of arterial hypertension were found, correlating with changes in behavior; self-regulating behavior reflecting defensive activity of the brain is particularly interesting. A high degree of self-regulating behavior was found to increase the resistance of the animal to arterial hypertension but weakening of self-regulation of behavior facilitates its onset and development.
