Description
Summary:The conditioned reflex to time (CR) is often used in experimental investigations as a model of trace processes. The authors have devised a hypothesis in the form of a general block scheme concerning the structural-functional prerequisites of the system organization of the CR to time as an independent neurophysiological formation, reflecting one of the most important mechanisms of the behavioral act - the preception of temporal parameters. With the aim of extending the understanding of the relationships of these processes they attempted their neurochemical analysis by means of pharmacologic action on certain mediator systems of the brain. To solve the problem they used three experimental situations where the traces, rhythm, and prognosis were represented relatively independently: deferred behavior, the CR to time, and the test reaction to temporal prognosis.
