| Abstract: | Experiments were performed on Wistar rats with high and low locomotor activities. In rats with high locomotor activity, activities of acetylcholine transferase, acetylcholine esterase, and monoamine oxidase A increased in the subcellular fractions of the sensorimotor cortex and arcuate nucleus, while monoamine oxidase B activity decreased compared to those in rats with low locomotor activity. The peculiarities of neurotransmitter systems in brain structures of rats with different behavioral patterns were related to genetic and functional organization of the central nervous system.
