[The reinforcing function of emotions (80th anniversary of the birth of Esras Asratovich Asratian)].
Modelling of conditioning by means of direct stimulation of the rat sensomotor cortex and the self--stimulation results revealed the primary role of activation of the hypothalamic emotionally positive structures in formation of instrumental conditioned reflex or its cellular analogue. Based on the data obtained and on some literature data, a scheme is proposed for conditioned connection resulting from convergence of impulses coming from at least four sources: 1) the structures perceiving a conditioned signal; 2) the structures activated by an actual demand (for instance, the hunger excitation); 3) afferent stimuli arising under the effect of a factor capable of satisfying this demand; 4) the cerebral emotiongenic structures.
