Brain structures were examined in two mouse strains differing in active avoidance learning in a shuttle box. Protein content and concentration, area of the cytoplasm and nuclei of neuron in layers III and V of the sensorimotor cortex were higher in rats with high learning ability. The detected morphochemical differences between the same brain structures of rats with high and low learning capacity can be attributed to this capacity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
