[The asymmetry of the free amino acid pool in sections of the rat brain].
The content of free amino acid pool in symmetric regions of cortex, hypothalamus, midbrain and blood of rats which had produced the movement conditioned reflex strengthened by feeding was studied. It was established that the "untrained" rats have higher content of free amino acid pool in their blood. The brain of the experimental animals revealed the biochemical asymmetry which was marked by the differences in free amino acid pool distribution between the left and right halves of the studied regions of brain. It was shown that left sided asymmetry animals i.e. animals with heightened content of free amino acid pool in the left half of the brain dominated in the "untrained" group of rats. The supposition was expressed that this biochemical asymmetry may contribute to the ability of animals to learn.
