“…Studies in our laboratory supported the suggestion that the mechanism of the formation of behaviour (learning) is the recruitment (specialization) of ‘new’ (previously silent) neurones into the subserving of specific new behaviours (Shvyrkov 1986, Gorkin 1988, Alexandrov & Jarvilehto 1993, Alexandrov et al . 2000a).…”

“…Our earlier data indicate that the U‐neurones are cells related to some systems of ‘other behaviours’, not analysed in the given study (Alexandrov et al . 1990a, 1993). There are also data in literature indicating that even much variable discharges are not ‘neural noise’ but indicators of the neurone’s involvement in the organization of behaviour (Vaadia et al .…”

“…It is apparent that the key to these questions lies in the behavioural specialization of neurones, i.e. the functional systems to which they belong (Shvyrkov 1986, Alexandrov & Jarvilehto 1993, Alexandrov et al . 2000a).…”

Activity of the 118 neurones was recorded from the cingulate cortex. The comparison of activity of each neurone in AAB and food-acquisition behaviour (FAB) enabled us to reveal that their subservings overleap substantially but not completely: 41% of 'common neurones' involved in the subserving of both FAB and AAB as well as 5% of 'alcohol-neurones' (alcohol-acquisition specific cells) were found. We think of the latter neurones as units that were specialized during the forming of alcohol-seeking behaviour. Thus, present experiments help us not only to answer the above questions but also to provide an additional insight into the nature of similarity between neuronal mechanisms of long-term memory and long-lived modifications resulting from repeated drug exposure.

“…Within the neurophysiology, emotions are controlled by the level and compound of the neurotransmitters inside the organism (see Alexandrov & Jarvilehto, 1993;Stirling & Eliott, 2010). All the variety of neurotransmitters (by the way, it is not clear, why they are so numerous -up to now, about 4000 different species are known), can be sorted into two groups: the stimulants (like adrenalin, caffeine, etc.)…”

“…However, the nervous system does not appear to be organized in a sense-specific fashion (cf. Alexandrov & Jarvilehto 1993). Many structures in the nervous system respond to activity originating in more than one sense modality (e.g., Fishman & Michael 1973).…”
