[Protective and therapeutic role of internal inhibition in dogs with experimental neuroses].

In one group of unrestrained dogs positive conditioned reflexes to three feeding troughs were elaborated to sound stimuli. In the other group both positive and negative reflexes were elaborated; then a maximum in duration of the delayed response to conditioned stimuli was determined for all animals who afterwards were neurotized with three factors: big volume of information for processing and assimilation; prolonged time deficit for such brain activity, and high level of motivation. It was found that in dogs of the second group profound disorders of the higher nervous activity occurred considerably later than in the first group, and that in neurotized dogs elaboration of internal inhibition had a curative effect.
