In analysis of neuronal activity of g. proreus of dogs brain in response to positive and differentiation conditioned cutaneous stimuli, in 44% of 78 studied neurons "late responses" appeared in the form of impulse activity intensification elicited by a positive conditioned stimulus after the end of eating and by a differentiation one--during conditioned signal action; it persisted in different neurones for 30--60 s. By means of various functional tests it has been shown that these reactions are a neurophysiological correlate of animals emotional state gradient.
