title: [Molecular-chemical basis of emotional states and reinforcement].
abstract: In this paper we have attempted to relate and explain the activity of the brain different integrative levels, which ends up with occurrence of a goal-directed behaviour and reinforcement. Two main mechanisms of responding to subjects and events of external environment, as rapid executive reactions and slow motivational-emotional states, have been marked out. Each mechanism gets its own neurochemical basis, ways of information transmission and molecular-genetic programs for the specialized metabolic reactions. Together both mechanisms form a unique spatial-temporal continuum of neural processes aimed to produce the beneficial activity and reinforce it by subjectively perceived emotional states.
