Аннотация: One of the most important tasks in neuroscience is the search for theoretical foundations for the development of methods for diagnosing and treating neurological pathology, and for assessing the effect of pharmacological drugs on the nervous system. Specific behavioral changes associated with exposure to systemic influences have been invisible to the human eye for a long time. A similar pattern of changes is characteristic of phenazepam, a drug with a wide range of effects on the brain. In this study, we used a color-coding method, which consists of combining three time positions in one image, the present (0 s), the near future (0.33 s) and the far future (1.6 s). This method made it possible to identify movement patterns, such as the initialization of ahead movements, side turns and 180° turns (back), and also to determine the degree of predictability of future movements. The obtained data revealed a decrease in the number of turns to the sides while maintaining ahead movement, as well as an increase in the predictability of movements in rats under the influence of phenazepam. Thus, sedative doses of phenazepam do not exhibit general depression of brain functions, but the inhibition of specific centers, including the medial prefrontal cortex and postsubiculum, which are involved in stereotypic locomotive behavior.
