[Structural basis of the striopallidum and the pedunculo-pontine tegmental nucleus participation in organization of adaptive behaviour].

The method of retrograde axonal transport of peculiarities of the organization of afferent and efferent projection systems of separate substructures of the pedunculo-pontine tegmental nucleus and functionally various (motor and limbic) areas of the striopallidal structures allow to discuss the structural basis of carrying functionally diverse information and its integration in the basal ganglia system as well as in the tegmental region. The obtained morphological data prompts understanding of the morpho-functional basis of interaction of the structures under study and their participation in adaptive behaviour.
