Pflüger's Arch., 8/ 1. - Bonn, Verlag von Max Cohen & Sohn, August 1873 (Manuldruck ca. 1910), 8°, 100 pp., orig. Broschur. In 1858 Sechenov came to Ludwig's laboratory ("without a recommendation") and began to experiment on the gases of the blood: "By this method, studies about the gases of the blood were placed on firm fitting, and these very experiments, as well as the long fussing with L. Meyer's absorptiometer, were the reason that I devoted a very significant part of my life to problems about the blood's gases and about the absorption of gases by liquids" (Autobiographical Notes, p. 87). Sechenov resumed his experiments on blood gases with the absorptiometer (in Odessa) in 1871, continuing them (in Petersburg and Moscow) for 25 years. He gives a very full summary of this research in his autobiography (pp. 138-41, 151-58, 164-67), describing both the "many happy minutes" and the "great deal of grief", as he was criticized by both biologists (for devoting so much time to physical chemistry) and chemists (for experimenting only with CO2).

"Originally from a small town on the Volga River, Sechenov (1829-1905) became the founder of an entire school of physiology which included among others Pavlov, Pachutin, Trachanov, Samojlov, Chaténikov and Verigo. .Pavlov called him 'the father of Russian physiology' since he was responsible for the great interest in neurophysiology which characterized most of later Russian physiology." (K.E. Rothschuh, 'Hist. physiology', 1973, pp. 328-329). In the mid-1860's, Sechenov developed a new approach to the functions of the sensory organs in which he maintained ".that the reality of sensation is rooted in the reality of the motor act." (D.S.B.). In the present publication Sechenov reports his further neurophysiological studies, here on the spinal nerves of frogs, conducted in the laboratory of Alexander Rollet (1834-1903) at Graz.

Für eine Aufklärung der am Austausch der Atemgase beteiligten Vorgänge fehlten um die Mitte des vorigen Jahrhunderts noch wesentliche theoretische Voraussetzungen. Nach den fundamentalen Entdeckungen Lavoisiers, der im letzten Viertel des 18. Jahrhunderts die Natur des Oxydationsprozesses aufgeklärt und den Nachweis von Verbrennungsvorgängen im tierischen Organismus erbracht hatte, waren die vielfältigen Bemühungen, tiefer in die Probleme der Sauerstoff- und Kohlensäuretransports einzudringen, wenig erfolgreich gewesen. Über die Sauerstoff- und Kohlensäurekonzentrationen der Ein- und Ausatmungsluft lagen zwar schon brauchbare Untersuchungsergebnisse vor (Vierordt 1845); aber die etwa zur gleichen Zeit von dem Physiker Magnus mittels Luftpumpe ausgeführten Blutgasanalysen waren zu ungenau, um aus den Resultaten auf den tatsächlichen Atemgasgehalt des Blutes schließen zu können. Infolgedessen waren weiterführende Spekulationen über die Mechanismen des Gasaustausches zwischen Lungenluft und Blut bzw. Blut und Gewebe noch nicht möglich. Von der Funktion der roten Blutkörperchen wußte man nicht viel mehr, als daß diese mit. ihrem Blutfarbstoff in einer Beziehung zum Atmungsvorgang stehen (J. Müller, 1834). Der Ort der oxydativen Energiefreisetzung war noch unbekannt; Autoritäten wie Müller und Bernard verlegten ihn ins Blut statt ins Gewebe. Dementsprechend zeichneten sich auch die mit der inneren Atmung eng gekoppelten Probleme des Stoff- und Energiewechsels noch kaum ab." Rothschuh Nr. 218: " "Blutgasanalysen im strömenden Blut".

In his Autobiographical Notes, Sechenov wrote of this work: "Systematic experiments with stimulation of sensory nerves did not exist, and I decided to take them up. The work, done and published in Graz, turned out to be extremely gratifying" Ivan Mikhaylovich Sechenov (1829-1905), Russian physiologist. Ivan Pavlov referred to him as the "Father of Russian physiology and scientific psychology". Sechenov is also considered one of the originators of objective psychology. Sechenov authored the classic, Reflexes of the Brain, introducing electrophysiology and neurophysiology into laboratories and teaching of medicine. He is also recognized as one of the three scholars - along with John B. Watson and Jean Piaget - who independently arrived at the conclusion that the activities that serve as elements of thinking are internalized or "ractional" versions of motor responses.

The reflexes of the brain, a pioneer work on cerebral reflex activity. According to Sechenov, higher brain function, including any so-called voluntary act, was basically reflex in nature for it was a response to sensory stimulation which led to a motor act. "Thus the nervous system as a whole functioned exclusively by means of reflex activity: lower or spinal reflexes, and cerebral or "psychic" reflexes which included emotions and thoughts" (Clarke & O'Malley, p. 362). "Sechenov considered cerebral reflex activity the source of voluntary actions. Stimulations, according to him, arise in the peripheral sense organs and are mediated to the psychic realm, which determines the nature of muscular response. Absence of all senses would thus make psychic life impossible. However, the reflex activity itself is regulated by other cerebral centers (especially that in the mid-brain), which serve in an inhibitory capacity" (Haymaker & Schiller). Sechenov (1829-1905), the father of Russian physiology, laid the foundation for the study of reflexes, animal and human behaviour, and neuroscience. He showed that brain activity is linked to electric currents and was the first to introduce electrophysiology. Among his discoveries was the cerebral inhibition of spinal reflexes, and described how the physiochemical factors in the environment of the cell are of equal if not greater importance.

Moskau, 22. III. (ca. 1900). 4°. 1 Seite. Russische Sprache und Schrift. With mention of his colleague Nikolai Mikhailovich Kishkin (1864-1930). - Ivan Mikhaylovich Sechenov (1829-1905) is a world-renowned medical scientist, physiologist, psychologist, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and founder of Russian physiology and psychology, he is a pioneer in the field of central nervous system inhibition in the world. Ivan Pavlov, the famous Russian neurologist and physiologist, referred to Sechenov as the "Father of Russian physiology and scientific psychology". Today Sechenov is more known for his contributions to medical physiology and neurology, in addition to his psychological work. Sechenov is also considered one of the originators of objective psychology, through his attempts to introduce objective experimental methods to the wider field of Russian psychology.
