Summary: | Changes of oxygen tension (pO2) level in various brain structures were studied in rats in positive and negative emotional states. It is established that pO2 level changes depend on the character of behavioural reactions: "active" type of behaviour (emotionally positive orienting-investigatory, actively defensive) is accompanied by pO2 level increase, and "passive" type of behaviour ("freezing" reaction)--by a decrease of pO2 level. Changes of oxidative brain metabolism observed at "active" and "passive" types of behaviour indicate, respectively, adaptive and nonadaptive character of these behavioural reactions. |
