Before proceeding with the presentation of the results of my experiments, I consider it necessary to dwell on the technique of the operations performed by me and on some details of the methods of painting. When performing experiments with the transection of the corpus callosum, we had to meet with great technical difficulties in order to avoid damage to the adjacent parts of the brain.
The question of the cross-linking of nerves of various functions has long occupied both physiologists and surgeons. The collapse of this question, according to Bidder's apt expression, could not be considered idle curiosity, but should have illuminated a number of important issues, for example, is the nerve an active or passive conductor.

In a small article under the title "de l'influence de l'écorce grise sur la dilatation de la pupille", published in C. R. de la Société de Biologie 1887 r.

The content of biology is made up of generalizations of individual areas of natural science; it is neither zoology, nor physiology, nor botany, but all these areas, with their generalized content, are included in biology. Biology is, from this point of view, nothing more than the philosophy of natural science, if we agree to understand by this term an abstract and generalizing character inherent in the method and content of biology.
In October last year, the resident of the Vinnitsa Regional Hospital, Dr. M.M. , having sent a copy of one of the histories of the disease and an explanatory note, he turned to the Society with a request to give his opinion on the new sample.

The authors examined the blood and urine of 18 prematurely weak-minded people: 11 women and 7 men, and 16 patients suffered from a catatonic form of dementia. Regarding blood — in this article, only information about the volume of changes in the amount of white blood balls is given; they ascertained in 12 patients a significant increase in eosinophils — 3.4 per 100 (normally 1 per 100); the number of multinucleated blood balls was increased in 4, normally in 9 patients, decreased in 5 patients.
Physical disorders in prematurely weak-minded people, very carefully studied by Krapein'om, are expressed in the following: an increase, sometimes very sharp, tendon reflexes, an increase in mechanical excitability of nerves and muscles; dilated pupils, especially during the period of arousal; uneven pupils; cyanosis, edema, dermographism; increased saliva and sweating; change in heart rhythm; lowering temperature; wrong menstruation; an increase in the volume of the thyroid gland; bulging eyes, trembling, anemia; sleep disorder, increased body weight.

Psychiatry, or, more precisely, psychopathology, occupies a separate position among other special sciences. Having her task to study deviations from a certain norm in the manifestations of the human spirit, she draws herself material from the analysis of extremely diverse phenomena that make up the subject of study of very many branches of the title.
