Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The administration of 150 mg/kg disulfiram to rats, by decreasing the content of noradrenalin in the brain, leads to disturbances in the development of conditioned reflexes of bilateral avoidance, but does not affect the retention of defensive and drinking conditioned reflexes. The administration of 100 mg/kg L-dopa does not affect the formation of defensive or the fixation of defensive and drinking conditioned reflexes.

  2. 2.

    Interference in the activity of catecholaminergic mechanisms of the brain is not directly reflected in the fixation of temporary links, regardless of the emotional character of the reinforcement used in their development.
