Influence of Triiodothyronine on the Strategies of Exploratory Behavior in Three-spined Stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus L. (Gasterosteidae: Osteichthyes)

详细

The influence of thyroid hormones (THs) on the organization of the exploratory behavior in fish was studied using the example of a three-spined stickleback. Strategies of fish behavior in plus maze were changed under impact of triiodothyronine. The fish treated by the hormone solution, in contrast to those of the control group, prefer shuttle movements between the corridors of the labyrinth, as well as random movements, which leads to a decrease in the efficiency of research behavior
