Abstract:
The emotional component of the stressful nature of our lives is constant, varied in
expression and in the nature of emotions. The emotional background often becomes the
leading factor determining the severity of stress. We were interested in the peculiarities
of catecholaminergic neurotransmitter systems functioning whose activity modulation in
conditions of chronic unpredictable stress can significantly change the nature of animals’
emotional reactions.
Aim. To study the influence of serotonergic, dopaminergic and adrenergic
neurotransmitter systems functional activity modulation on the emotional behavior
expression in rats in chronic unpredictable stress.
