Some aspects of relativistic electron-positron plasma dynamics in the pulsar magnetosphere are discussed. Namely it is shown that if we take into account the influence of centrifugal force, this gives rise to the new dynamical effect of plasma particle radial braking in the pulsar magnetosphere. Also the possibility of aperiodic instability development in the pulsar magnetosphere is demonstrated. The mechanism for the toroidal magnetic field generation is proposed. Besides, the possible changes of the pulsar magnetosphere structure caused by above mentioned processes is considered.
