Abstract

The effect of neuroleptic haloperidol, a dopamine precursor L-DOPA, and dopamine analog 6-OHDA on the development of conditioned defensive reflex was studied in edible snails. Injection of L-DOPA to intact snails and to snails pretreated with 6-OHDA 2 h before learning session decelerated acquisition of the conditioned reflex and exerted a toxic action. In contrast, injection of 6-OHDA or haloperidol did not affect acquisition of the conditioned reflex.
