[Associative brain systems as the behavioral control apparatus based on the dominant and conditioned reflex]

Abstract

The main statements of author's conception concerning the associative brain systems (thalamoparietal and thalamofrontal) as the behaviour control systems are presented. The participation of associative systems in performance of the high brain functions ensures due to the entrance of the whole information spectrum of biological and signal significance into them and to the presence of neuronal plastic mechanisms, the mechanisms for retrieval the whole behaviour programs from the long-term memory and the ability of short-term storing of behaviour programs and estimation of their adequacy on the ground of dominant and conditioning mechanisms.
