The content of the products of the peroxidative oxidation of lipids (POL) in slices of olfactory cortex of the rat brain during long-term potentiation was investigated. The phasic character of the changes in the level of POL as a function of the duration of potentiation was demonstrated. The initial stages of potentiation (5 min) is characterized by an increase in POL; the stationary phase (15 min) is accompanied by inhibition of free-radical oxidation of lipids; the concluding phase of long-term potentiation (30 min) leads to the normalization of POL. The dynamics of the change in POL reflect the adaptive character of the development of potentiation in the slices.

Abstract. The paper discusses the ways to improve methods and algorithms of the automated control of knowledge, approaches to the establishment and effective functioning of electronic teaching complexes, which include tests of a new generation, and their use is not limited control purpose only. Possibilities of computer-based testing system SCIENTIA are presented. This system is a tool to automate the control of knowledge that can be used for the assessment and monitoring of students' knowledge in different types of exams, self-control of students' knowledge, making test materials, creating a unified database of tests on a wide range of subjects etc. Successful operation of informational system is confirmed in practice during the study of the course of physics by students at Technical University.
