Abstract:
Groups of active and passive Wistar rats were revealed in the "open field" and "hole exploration" tests. The pronounced c-fos gene expression was found in different brain structures of rats preliminary subjected to electrodermal stimulation in the "step down" test. Marked differences in c-fos gene expression were observed in brain structures of rats with the active and passive behavior in the "open field", "hole exploration", and "step down" tests. The most pronounced and intensive c-fos gene expression was noticed in the passive rats.
