Abstract
Computerized ethological pharmacology applies specific ethological, mathematical, neuropharmacological and neurochemical principles to the analysis and control of agonistic behaviour. In recent years the most productive developments in ethopharmacology have been: 1) application of computerized mathematical methods for the investigation of intraspecific behaviour (Poshivalov 1986a, b); 2) adaptation and formalization of behavioural models for psychopharmacological research (Poshivalov 1986c); 3) combinations of neurochemical and ethological methods of investigation to the study of central nervous system functions (Kantak et al. 1980; Miczek et al. 1984; Olivier and Mos 1986; Poshivalov and Khodko 1984; Rodgers and Hendrie 1984). One of the remaining problems for ethopharmacology is the synthesis of molecular pharmacology and behaviour. The development of this direction of research could promote the better understanding of the interrelationships between behaviour, endogenous ligands and receptors (Nieminen and Poshivalov 1985; Sukchotina et al. in press).
