Abstract:
:The conditioned and reflex parameters in rat lines selected for the threshold of excitability (a fundamental characteristics of the functional state of the nervous system) were estimated. This measure is based on the response of the tibial nerve to electrical stimulation, which gives a general indication of the level of excitability of other parts of the nervous system. Testing was made 1-3 days after 15 days of daily stress caused by randomly presented pairing of light and unavoidable electric shock. Expression of the sensitivity to the electric current, and the reflex components of the behavior, depends on the genetically determined level of the functional state of the nervous system.

杂志文章abstract::Mating behavior, including courtship and copulation, is a main component of male fitness, especially in species with no parental care. Variation in this behavior can thus be a target for mate choice and sexual selection, and can lead to evolution. The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, has well-documented complex mal...
