1901 graduate Medical Faculty, Kiev University.
While still a student began research on general pathology and clinical aspects of internal diseases. 1905 joined Saint St. Petersburg (Leningrad) Institute of Experimental Medical, where he wrote his doctor’s thesis under the supervision of 1. P. Pavlov; the thesis, which dealt with conditioned reactions to sonic stimuli, established several laws govemung the operation of the upper section of the canine cerebrum and provided material for further research at Pavlov’s laboratories.
Demonstrated that dogs deprived of the cortex of their cerebral hemispheres retain complex unconditioned reflexes but are incapable of forming conditioned reflexes. In further research at Petrograd Veterianry Institute came to the conclusion that animals without cerebral hemispheres can form simple conditioned reflexes. Devised original methods of inducing conditioned motor reflexes.
Also studied physiology of digestion and physiology of labor. Made special studies of human higher nervous activity. 1921-1951 head, Chair of Physiology, Leningrad Veterinary Institute.
