Abstract

The effect of carbidine on conditioned defensive reflexes during stimulation of the mesencephalic reticular formation was investigated in chronic experiments on rats and rabbits. Carbidine was shown to prevent the inhibition of defensive conditioned reflexes caused by stimulation of the mesencephalic reticular formation. This points to its inhibitory action on these structures. This conclusion was confirmed by experiments conducted on rabbits in which changes in electrical activity were recorded during stimulation of the mesencephalic reticular formation.
