[Evaluation of velocity of vertical learning of the habitable space for complex behavioral experiments in rats].
A selection of laboratory animals for complex behavioural experiments is of a significant importance for obtaining objective results. The problem of the selection seems to be solved by means of the proposed assessment of vertical learning of an habitable space. The assessment test is based on investigative activity of the animals under conditions of a new surrounding. The test allows to divide the rats into four types.
