Abstract

Locomotor activity in the open field test did not correlate with rat resistance to acute hypobaric hypoxia; there was a correlation between this resistance and rat behavior during acute stress. Immobility was characteristic of rats with low and particularly medium resistance to hypoxia; this reaction can be abolished by antidepressants. by contrast, highly resistant rats were mainly hyperactive. The resistance to hypoxia was associated with extreme parameters of dopaminergic neuron functioning. In low-resistant rats locomotor stereotypia was maximal, while perioral stereotypia was the minimal; highly resistant rats were characterized by an opposite pattern, and medium-resistant rats occupied an intermediate position.
