‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- "THE FATHER OF RUSSIAN PHYSIOLOGY" ---- "While working in the Paris laboratory of Claude Bernard, Sechenov reported on central inhibition - the repressive effects of thalamic nerve centers on spinal reflexes. He thus inaugurated research on inhibition phenomena in the central nervous system. His discovery led Sechenov to suggest the theory of cerebral behavior mechanisms, according to which all conscious and unconscious acts are reflexes in terms of their structure. This theory provide the basis for the development of neurophysiology and objective psychology in Russia, including the investigations of Pavlov and Bekhterev. In elaborating the theory of the functions of higher nerve centers, Sechenov established a principle of self-regulation that was set forth in works published in 1866, 1891 and 1898... Mere impartiality impuls us to acknowledge the fact that it was Ivan Mikhaylovich (Sechenov) who laid the real foundations of teaching concerning the mechanism of the central nervous system".
