Abstract:
Comparative evaluation was carried out of behavior of rats with implanted brain electrodes and animals without electrodes. In rats with implanted electrodes the anxiety-phobic level was increased, open-field locomotor activity and rearings were decreased, novelty reactions on illumination changes and zoosocial interactions were deranged. The behavior remained altered for at least 3 weeks after surgery.
