[Formation of complex behavior habits in white rats after exposure to artificial gravitation aboard the Cosmos-936 biosatellite].

A study was made of the behaviour of albino rats solving complex tasks in the Lachman maze and in a maze of original design, on the 18th to 24th days after exposure on board the "Kosmos-936" biosatellite. In conditions of artificial gravitation the animals solved such tasks significantly worse than those which were not subjected to centrifugation on board. Control trials on Earth and some features of the experimental technique suggest that this fact is due to negative influence of angular velocities during centrifugation on the animal's central nervous system.
