About special sensitivity in degenerate neuropaths
Abstract
The important question of degeneration, put forward in the newest time thanks to the careful development of the scholarship on inheritance, was still mainly occupied by psychiatrists and anthropologists - criminologists. True, numerous studies of Charcot, Féré, Mőbius and a friend, have shown that in the ethology of nervous diseases, pathological inheritance plays a very prominent role, and some categories of nervous patients, as, for example, have long been attributed to great historical, epileptic, class of degenerate.
Memory of homogeneous sequential visual impressions
Abstract
Every one of us experienced the following everyday phenomenon. A person hears, let’s say, the striking of the clock, but does not pay attention to it and does not count the number of strikes; each sound is perceived (consciously or unconsciously — it's all the same) and is immediately forgotten, yielding instead to the next.
The results of the examination of German and some French institutions for the mentally ill
Abstract
The XIX century, marked by a colossal progress in all branches of human knowledge, as expected, did not remain without influence in cultural countries to improve the situation of keeping, treating and looking after the mentally ill. A hundred years ago, the famous French psychiatrist Pinel, who removed the chains from the mentally ill, to whom they were attached, and preached humane treatment of such patients, gave a push to this at the end of a hundred years ago. A whole series of the following psychiatrists in all civilized countries tried to put this principle into practice and develop it further; thanks to their scientific research, they raised psychiatry as a science to the respectable place that it occupies among other branches of medical knowledge. The society, awakened from the gripping of its perpetual indifference to the fate of its unfortunate fellows who got sick, as if conscious of its guilt for the deprivation that the mentally ill previously experienced in the old hospitals - prisons, begins to worry little about the result In recent years, in our country and in all civilized states, one after another, new psychiatric hospitals are growing — whole palaces, where, down to the smallest details, everything is foreseen, according to the newest views, for the rational maintenance and treatment of their sick people. Hospitals such as Herzberge and Wuhlgarten near Berlin, Dziekanka near Gnezen, the famous colony for the mentally ill Alt-Scherbitz, clinics in Halle and Hedelberg, Munsigen hospitals in Switzerland and Kierling in Switzerland, with their orders and orders, amaze in them, and the achieved results in the maintenance and treatment of the mentally ill.

About constricting pupils and accommodative centers of the cerebral cortex
Abstract
In view of the recent indications made by Dr. Piltz concerning the existence in the rabbit cortex of a special shrinking eye center in the posterior hemisphere, I think it is not superfluous to point out my long-standing studies on the excitability of the cerebral cortex in monkeys, in which I have also noted the shrinking eye centers in the vicinity of the rabbit cortex.
In this regard, the corresponding instructions were made by me in 1897 in one of the scientific meetings of doctors of the clinic of mental and nervous diseases in St. Petersburg.
