Mechanism of hypnosis and autonomic nervous system. A. P. Nikolaev (Phys. Gaz., 1927, No. 22)
The author notes that, thanks mainly to the classical works of Academician I.P. Pavlov, it can be considered established that normal, natural sleep and hypnosis are states of the same order, which differ from each other only quantitatively, not qualitatively, and are an expression of cerebral cortex inhibition. In discussing the question of what leads to complete inhibition in the cerebral cortex, i.e. to sleep, the author dwells on the opinion of Legendre and Pieron, who believe that sleep is the result of hypnotoxin poisoning, and the opinion of Acad. Pavlov, according to which sleep is a simple unconditional protective, innate reflex, protecting the most valuable elements of the organism - nerve cells of the large hemispheres.
