title: Cytochemical characteristics of the brain in rats differing in active avoidance learning ability.
abstract: Brain structures were examined in two mouse strains differing in active avoidance learning in a shuttle box. Protein content and concentration, area of the cytoplasm and nuclei of neuron in layers III and V of the sensorimotor cortex were higher in rats with high learning ability. The detected morphochemical differences between the same brain structures of rats with high and low learning capacity can be attributed to this capacity.
