[Forward and backward connections in instrumental drinking conditioned reflexes in rats]. 1981

V N Semagin, and A V Zukhar'

Stabilization of instrumental drinking conditioned reflexes in rats is attended with a more frequent manifestation of backward connection. In response to the conditioned signal the first to appear is a classical conditioned reflex: the rat licks the drinking cup. This is followed by pressing the bar (manifestation of backward connection) after which the rat drinks the water (forward connection). When drinking, the rat tonically presses the bar (backward connection). During the rest of the session, phasic motor reactions prevail. Individual variations of frequency of backward connections manifestations were established in different rats.

D008297	Male		Males
D003216	Conditioning, Operant	Learning situations in which the sequence responses of the subject are instrumental in producing reinforcement. When the correct response occurs, which involves the selection from among a repertoire of responses, the subject is immediately reinforced.

D004326	Drinking	The consumption of liquids.	Water Consumption,Water Intake,Drinkings
D005246	Feedback	A mechanism of communication within a system in that the input signal generates an output response which returns to influence the continued activity or productivity of that system.	Feedbacks
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013016	Sound	A type of non-ionizing radiation in which energy is transmitted through solid, liquid, or gas as compression waves. Sound (acoustic or sonic) radiation with frequencies above the audible range is classified as ultrasonic. Sound radiation below the audible range is classified as infrasonic.
