Neuroscience and Behavioral Physiology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    An excess of 5-HT in the brain disturbs fixation of defensive, drinking, and foodgetting conditioned reflexes to a greater degree than a fall in its level.

  2. 2.

    The negative effect of an excess of 5-HT on fixation of conditioned reflexes is unaccompanied by any effect on their formation.

  3. 3.

    The degree of involvement of the serotoninergic system of the brain in the consolidation of conditioned reflexes depends on the character and particular features of the conditioned reflexes formed.
