  • Title: [Relation between the level of conditioned reflex activity and concentration of serotonin in the blood of normal and neurotic dogs].
    Author: Bolondinskiĭ VK.
    Journal: Zh Vyssh Nerv Deiat Im I P Pavlova; 1984; 34(2):339-44. PubMed ID: 6540016.
    Abstract:
    Higher nervous activity of dogs was studied using Pavlovian method of alimentary salivary conditioned reflexes. Serotonin (5- hydroxytryptamine) content in the venous blood was defined by means of fluorescent spectrofluorimeter using orthophthalic dialdehyde. A high level of conditioned and unconditioned reflexes was accompanied by a low serotonin blood content, while a low level of reflexes was accompanied by a high serotonin content. Negative correlation is supposed to exist between the degree of activation of nervous processes and blood serotonin content. Blood serotonin content increased in dogs in experimental neurosis with expressed reduction of the level on alimentary conditioned and unconditioned reflexes.
