[Psychophysiological aspects of the problem of narcotic dependency].
An attempt has been made at analyzing mechanisms of formation of addiction to narcotics from the standpoint of a systemic approach to a functional organization of psychic activity. A model is proposed of the pathological functional system as the basis of narcodependence, which combines processes of two adjoining levels--those of psychic activity and of higher nervous activity. It is suggested that pathological hyperactivity of the functional structure maintaining the need for a change in the emotional state might be the basis of addiction to narcotic drugs.
