title: [Effect of 8-Br-cAMP on the formation of conditioned reflex behavior in the white rat].
abstract: The influence of cAMP analogue 8-Br-cAMP on conditioning was studied in white rats. Two models of learning were used with different kinds of reinforcement, i. e. conditioned active avoidance and instrumental alimentary reactions in a complex maze. Intraventricular 8-Br-cAMP injection 4 or 24 hours before the beginning of learning improved the process of defensive as well as alimentary conditioning. Characteristics of formation of complex behaviour of experimental rats in a maze showed that under the influence of 8-Br-cAMP, not only conditioning was accelerated, but the process of optimal decision making itself was changed. The data obtained permit to suppose that 8-Br-cAMP first of all affects initially poorly learning rats.
