[Spatial-temporal structure of the organization of goal-directed behavior under the action of delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol].

The effect of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-9-THC) on the goal-directed behavior was studied by the pattern recognition theory methods on cats trained for a differentiated response, to structured visual stimuli. Administration of delta-9-THC was shown to cause noncoordination of certain neocortex regions as well as disagreement of temporal characteristics of the processes involved in the goal-directed behavior organization.
