Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The number of mistakes made by animals on the first day of formation of an avoidance reaction correlates with a low DA level in the whole brain and with a high NA level in the cortex + corpus striatum.

  2. 2.

    The number of mistakes on the first day of training does not depend on the level of spontaneous motor activity, and mistakes characterize the actual learning process.
