SAMOYLOV, Aleksandr was born in 1867.
Graduate Natural Sciences Department, Physics and Mathematics Faculty, Novorossiysk University, Odessa. Graduate Medical Faculty, Yur’yev University (Derpt).
1892 defended doctor’s thesis. 1893-1896 worked at I.P. Pavlov’s Laboratory, Institute of Experimental Medical From 1896 assistant to l.M. Sechenov in Moscow.
Then associate professor, Medical Faculty, Moscow University. 1903-1930 professor of zoology, comparative anatomy and physiology, Physics and Mathematics Faculty, Kazan’ University. From 1925 also professor of physiology, Veterinary Institute and Physics and Mathematics Faculty, 1st Moscow University.
Founder and consultant, Electrocardiographic Centers, Obukh Institute and Botkin Hospital. Pioneer of Russian clectrophysiology and electrocardiography. Collected important physiological data using capillary electrometer and string galvanometer for study of physiological phenomena.
Introduced electrocardiography into Russia and improved its technique. 1908 published work on practical application of string galvanometer which he himself had improved. One of first physiologists in the world to use string galvanometer for study of skeletal musculature and complex reflex actions.
Postulated chemical nature of transmission of excitation from somatic nerve to skeletal muscle. Also studied humoral nature of central inhibition. Performed basic research on physiology of muscles, nerve fibers, end plates, ccntr nervous system, cardiac muscle and sensory organs.
Wrote several studies on history of physiology, including such physiologists as Harvey, Sechenov, Loeb, Pavlov and Magnus. Also studied theory of music and connection between physiology of sensory organs and the theory of musical harmony. Wrote some 110 works'/,;i6/,' Nekotoyye elektrofiziologicheskiye opyty (Some Electrophysiological Experiments) (1904).
Elektrokardiogrammy (Electrocardiograms) (1908). Teorii myshechnogo sokrashcheniya (Theories of Muscular Contraction) (1922). Dialektika prirody i yestestvoznaniye (The Dialectics of Nature and Natural Sciences) (1926).
“Die Rigidität und Plastizität der Muskeln des dezerebriertcn Tieres” (1927). K kharakteristike tsentral’nykh protsessov ugneteniya (The Characteristics of Central Inhibition Processes) (1927). Elektrofiziologicheskiy metod v uchenii o refleksakh (The Electrophysiological Method in Reflex Theory) (1932).

God can not be proven by science which is the main way we study and understand our universe or natural world.
Marxism–Leninism as the only truth could not, by its very nature, become outdated.
