Study of the physiological significance of the Ammon's horn (cornu Ammonis) by the method of loss of function
Abstract
The study of the physiological significance of the Ammon's horn but the method of loss of function has been undertaken until now by only a few individuals; although the conclusions they made from their experiments on animals are partly identical with each other and even coincide, albeit incompletely, with the conclusions of other authors who worked on other research methods (Edinger, Zuckerkandl - comparative anatomical, embryological, anatomical) nevertheless, with the closest acquaintance with the works of these authors, one cannot but come to the conclusion that their conclusions were made on very shaky grounds.
A case of combined spinal cord disease due to lead poisoning from dishes
Abstract
At the beginning of 1898, at the very time when the question of noon was discussed in St. Petersburg not only by the medical press, but also by the general press, I came across a case that, in addition to the everyday interest associated with this issue, undoubtedly deserves attention and clinical attention. While a whole literature has already been formed about peripheral lead paralysis, diseases of the central nervous system and, in particular, of the spinal cord due to lead poisoning have been described by relatively few and only recently. All this prompts me to report my observation, despite the fact that he was destined to remain without posthumous research.
About a little-known system of fibers running along the periphery of the antero-external part of the cervical part of the spinal cord
Abstract
For a long time I had in mind to write a note about the fiber system, which I called the olive bunch (aka Dreikantbahn Helweg'a) and which I described in detail in a separate article in Neur. Centr. No. 12, 1894; but purely different external circumstances served as an obstacle. The immediate reason for this lock is the fact that recently this system began to pay attention to the authors and was the subject of research by several persons, among other things Reinhold, Risk and Obersteiner. This system undoubtedly deserves attention and study, since there are still some unclear points regarding it. The main of these points relate to 1) the direction of the fibers of the system under consideration and 2) its origin and termination.

On the issue of acute delirium
Abstract
Despite the fact that since the time of Brierre de Boismont, to whom we are obliged to isolate acute delirium, the literature on this issue has grown very much and has already counted several tens of years, at least only over the past years, thanks to a whole series of works with careful clinical description and the pathologist - anatomical research, begins to gradually dissolve the darkness in which this disease was shrouded. And the clinic, and the pathological anatomy and the pathogenesis of acute delirium gave and still still give reason to the most diverse and contradictory judgments. But out of the multitude of opinions expressed on this subject, two main main views can be distinguished.
On the question of the termination of motor nerves in the muscles of the heart of vertebrates
Abstract
Despite the significant literature on this issue, we still do not have its final resolution. Here, in brief features, is the main literary data related to this subject. A.

Academician V.M.Bekhterev. Therapeutic value of hypnosis. SPb. 1900
Abstract
The author's brochure is a revision of his article "On the Medical Significance of Hypnosis" published in 1894. In the present edition, the author has made some additions, based on the latest observations. In his work, the author is primarily concerned with clarifying the issue of the essence of hypnosis and, on the basis of his personal observations, is inclined more in favor of a view of hypnosis, as a special modification of normal sleep, caused by well-known principles. In terms of the strength and degree of development, various states of hypnosis can be fully likened to various degrees of natural sleep.

Letter to the editors
Abstract
At the end of July and the beginning of August of this year, there appeared in the "Russian Vedomosti" and in the "Doctor" the announcement of the Ufa Provincial Zemsky Administration, calling for doctors who want to take the place of the head and two residents of the Ufa Zemsky Hospital for the mentally ill. Regarding these announcements, we received letters and inquiries from comrades who were perplexed as to why the entire medical staff of the psychiatric hospital immediately left the service. We think that the comrades will be surprised to learn that two of the doctors — the manager S.P. Sukhov until October 11 and the resident E.K. We were only informed at that time (we informed us of the journal decree of the Board from July 2) that the Board expects from us a petition for resignation in the course of two months and start applying for our deputies. Did the third comrade, resident O.V. Aptekman, petition for resignation, we do not know, because he stood apart and joined together with the Administration to fight against us.
