[About phenomenon of time and efficiency of chronotherapy of chronic diseases].

Resonance chronophytotherapy (RCT) was carried out to patients with epilepsy, bronchial asthma, rheumatism, scleroderma, hypertension, chronic glomerulonephritis, vegetovascular dystonia, female sterility, round-type alopecia, vitiligo, eczema, psoriasis, onychomycosis. Special medicine technology RCT does not have any adverse effects nor contraindications and is intended first of all to eliminate non specific signs of a disease, decrease dependence and complications of applying chemical synthetic medications. RCT may be used together with any type of specific treatment. Internet variant of TRC have been developed.

[Chronotherapy and relativity theory].

The course of time itself in alive organisms is treated from positions of the special theory of the relativity created by A. Einstein in 1905 and added by the Nobel winners H.A.Lorentsem, M. Plankom, M. fon Laue. These achievements of fundamental physics have been put in a basis of special medical technology "Resonant chronophytotherapy" (SMT RCPT) which is applied in practice of treatment of chronic diseases for 27 years. Grass tinctures in various dosages are used in SMT RCPT, which patients take once a day during precisely designated time. Parameters "dosage-time" daily vary. SMT RCPT have been conducted in treatment of epilepsy bronchial asthma, rheumatism, sclerodermia, hypertension, chronic glomerulonephritis, vegeto-vascular dystonia, female sterility, circular alopecia, vitiligo, eczema, psoriasis, onychomycosis. SMT RCPT does have adverse events, has no contra-indications to its use, directed, first of all, on elimination of nonspecific signs of a disease, reduces dependence and complications of the use of chemical synthetic preparations. SMT RCPT can be combined with any kind of specific treatment. Internet-variant of SMT RCPT has been developed. Chronomedicine is priority tendency in industrialized countries of the world--the USA, the Great Britain, Germany, France, Russia, China, Japan and appears on lead positions among alternative methods of treatment, both traditional, and non-traditional.

[2 types of lateral inhibition in frog retinas]. / Dva vida lateral 'nogo tormozheniia v setchatke liagushki.

The influence of different pharmacological agents on the inhibition in the frog retina was investigated by means of recording ERG from the inner plexiform layer. Two different types of lateral inhibition were distinguished: "near", sensitive to picrotoxin, and "distant", sensitive-strychnine. The "distant" inhibition appears to be the familiar lateral inhibition transmitted by propagating spikes. The "near" picrotoxin-sensitive lateral inhibition does not depend on propagating spikes. Localization of two types of lateral inhibition in the plexiform layers is discussed.

[Optimal air flow directions for activating the giant neurons of the cercal system in the cricket, Gryllus domesticus]. / Optimal'nye napravleniia vozdushnykh potokov dlia aktivatsii gigantskikh neironov tserkal'noi sistemy sverchka Gryllus domesticus.

Studies have been made of the directional sensitivity of the giant neurons in the abdominal nervous chain of the cricket during the effect of air flows and sound stimuli on the cercal system. It was found that the axis of sonic and air flow diagrams of the directional sensitivity for a given neuron are practically identical. On the basis of flow diagrams, in each of the connectives at the edge of terminal abdominal ganglion 4 giant neurons were identified which may form a system accounting for the reception of air flows of any directions approximating horizontal plane. It was found that 3 neurons from this system receive the main bulk of excitatory impulsation from the ipsilateral cercus, and only 1 of them--from the contralateral one. The data obtained are discussed in relation to morphological and physiological characteristics of the investigated group of giant neurons.

[Constant representation of signal spatial location in the cricket cercal system]. / Konstantnoe otobrazhenie polozheniia istochnika signala v prostranstve v tserkal'noi sisteme sverchka

Directional sensitivity of the abdominal giant fibers of the cricket to auditory stimulation has been investigated with special interest to the effect of the cerci position on the directional sensitivity of the giant neurons of the terminal abdominal ganglion. It has been shown that at least for some giant neurons the preferred directions of stimulation are practically independent of cerci position. (Fig. 2, 3). By other words these neurons have constant preferred directions in relation to the insect body, but not to the cerci. This property of giant neurons can be accounted for their changeable connections with many receptors having different directional selectivity. If innervation of the giant neuron is artificially restricted to one group of receptors with identical directional selectivity the described constancy of preferred directions in relation to the body disappears (Fig. 4).
