Conclusions
-
1.
The reactions of command neurons of avoidance behavior to the presentation of food differ significantly between hungry and satiated snails if the hemolymph is substituted by salt solution.
-
2.
Introduction to hungry snails of the hemolymph from satiated animals significantly changes the responses of the command neurons of avoidance behavior to food, the responses becoming similar to those of neurons of satiated snails.
-
3.
The avoidance reactions to the reinforced form of food, appearing after development of the avoidance conditioned reflex to food, are similar to the avoidance reactions to food in satiated animals.
