ABSTRACT
The article presents scientific biography of A. A. Otelin - outstanding morphologist, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor, representative of scientific school of Academician V. P. Vorobyov. The contribution of A. A. Otelin into becoming of morphological chairs in medical institutes of Kharkov, Lvov, Vinnitsa, Kishinev, Kursk and Kemerovo and in formation of scientific morphological schools in the regions of the RSFSR and the Republics of the USSR is demonstrated. The particular attention is paid to results of scientific studies of A. A. Otelin in the 1970s carried out jointly with scientists of the Institute of Brain of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences and the I. P. Pavlov Institute of Physiology of the USSR Academy of Sciences concerning investigation of morphology of sensitive receptors - Vater-Pacini corpuscules.

The article is devoted to scientific biography of the prominent neuroanatomist, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor L. A. Shangina, representative of the scientific school of Tonkov-Bushmakin. Her input into becoming of the chairs of normal anatomy of medical institutes in Irkutsk, Moscow, Kursk, Dushanbe (Tajikistan) and Smolensk and in organization of scientific community of neuromorphologists in the USSR in the middle and second half of the twentieth century is demonstrated. The special attention is paid to the results of scientific studies of L. A. Shangina and her post-graduate students of topography of nerves innervating human heart, of topography of accessory nerve (XI pair of cranial nerves), of structure of receptors of autonomic nervous system in walls of alimentary tract and urinary system.

The article presents history of origin and development of scientific school of parasitology in Kursk founded by professor N. P. Kevorkov. The period of becoming of Kevorkov as scientist under the guidance of N. I. Hodukin at the Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology of the Uzbek SSR (Tashkent). The results of his scientific research during the years of his leadership of the Chair of Biology at the Kyrgyz State Medical Institute (Frunze) are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to results of scientific research of professor N. P. Kevorkov and his disciple professor G. M. Tkachenko at the Kursk State Medical Institute. The theoretical and practical significance of the study is in restoration of contribution of N. P. Kevorkov and G.M Tkachenko, the leaders of scientific school of parasitology of the Kursk State Medical Institute, to investigation of biology of pathogens of malaria, hymenolepiasis, trichomoniasis and lyambliosis, as well as to prevention and treatment of these diseases.

Mechanisms of visual nonverbal memory were studied in 6-year-old children. Differences in the mechanisms of interhemispheric and intrahemispheric ratio of reactivity of sensor areas were observed in children with different mnemic abilities.

Here we present the analysis of age-specific and individual characteristics of sensory systems of the right and left hemispheres in preschool children. We studied the role of visual, auditory, and cutaneous sensory zones of the right and left hemispheres in 3.5-5-year-old children in the structure of functional systems realizing attention processes with different efficiency. Sensorimotor parameters reflecting the structure of functional systems at the perceptive level were identified. These data are helpful for diagnostics of the causes of low efficiency of cognition abilities.

The intellectual working capacity and indicators of time of reaction to visual, acoustical and skin signals in older persons were studied. Older persons have a decrease in efficiency of mental faculties and change in mechanisms of perception functions. The older persons demonstrate a decrease in basal level of reactance of touch areas. The visual area of the left hemisphere becomes "the leading" analyzer.
