[The general physiological mechanisms of glutamate influence on the central nervous system].

The L-Glutamate, is dicarboxilic amino acid which plays the important role in maintenance of normal functioning of the central nervous system (CNS) in invertebrate and vertebrate animals. It carrying out functions of amphibolic intermediate in biosynthesis and degradation of amino acids and some nitrogenous substances. Besides, L-Glutamate acid possesses a significant role in the regulation of the bioenergetics processes that proceeding in nervous system, due to direct or indirect participations in the reactions of glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, synthesis of ketone bodies and formation of glycogen.

[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 characteristics of the functional topology of Lashley's area in the rat cerebral cortex during different complex visual stimuli under alternative choice conditions].

In the result of our investigation it was determined: a) The ability to discriminate the complicated visual stimuli in rats depends on small part of occipital region of cerebral cortex critically. This is "Lashley zone". b) The location of this part of the cortex is the border between Ocl (17 field) and Oc2.
