State of hunger is characterized by the presence of definite distribution of interimpulse intervals in the activity of sensorimotor cortical neurones (SMC) of rabbit. Mostly bi- and three-modal distribution of interimpulse intervals in the background activity in hungry animals changes in the process of elaboration of food-procuring habit. As the habit consolidates, the SMC neurones acquire the ability to forestalling actions. Peculiarities are revealed of organization of the SMC neurones impulse stream in response to the action of conditioned signal in the case of abolition or substitution of the reinforcement. Repeated substitutions of reinforcement cause the formation of activity of concordance in the moment of substitute "recognition" despite the absence of alimentary reinforcement.

Unilateral labyrinthectomy causes distinct oculomotor and postural disorder syndromes that gradually deteriorate. Simultaneously, compensatory mechanisms for the suppression of pathological disorders were activated. The current study aimed to investigate the characteristics of impulse activity in the ipsilateral and contralateral neurons of the lateral vestibular nucleus of unilaterally labyrinthectomized rats during various periods of vibration exposure.

The auditory sensory system of the taxon Hetrodinae has not been studied previously. Males of the African armoured ground cricket, Acanthoplus longipes (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Hetrodinae) produce a calling song that lasts for minutes and consists of verses with two pulses. About three impulses are in the first pulse and about five impulses are in the second pulse.

Experiments on frog neuromuscular synapses using extracellular microelectrode recording of endplate currents (EPC) and nerve ending (NE) responses were performed to study the mechanisms of facilitation of quantum secretion of acetylcholine on replacement of extracellular Ca ions with Sr ions. Solutions with a Ca ion concentration of 0.5 mM (calcium solutions) or a Sr ion concentration of 1 mM (strontium solutions) were used; the basal levels of neurotransmitter secretion (in conditions of low-frequency stimulation) were essentially identical.

We present a new method to characterize the nonlinearities resulting from the co-activity of two pathways that converge on a common postsynaptic element. We investigated the nonlinear dynamic interactions between the lateral perforant pathway (LPP) and the Medial Perforant Pathway (MPP) of the hippocampal dentate gyrus, and the effects of these cross-pathway interactions on granule cell output. A third order Volterra-Poisson modeling approach was implemented to capture the interactions between the two pathways.

The mechanism of phase synchronization between uncoupled limit-cycle oscillators induced by common random impulsive forcing is analyzed. By reducing the dynamics of the oscillator to a random phase map, it is shown that phase synchronization generally occurs when the oscillator is driven by weak random impulsive forcing in the limit of large interimpulse intervals. The case where the interimpulse intervals are finite is also analyzed perturbatively for small impulse intensity.
