Quantitative cytochemistry has revealed that emotional stress-sensitive rats (August) differ from emotional stress-resistant ones (Wistar) in the exchange of neurotransmitters and in the level of protein in the neurons. The differences were found at the level of some brain regions (sensomotor cortex, hippocamp, caudate and adjacent nuclei) and various cells (neurons of the cortex and subcortical structures). It has been concluded that animals of genetically different lines differ not only in behavioral characteristics, but in metabolism in some brain structures.
