Provenance: Marburg, ('Bibliothek der Med. Klinik' ink stamp on title). FIRST EDITION 'In November 1862, while working in Paris laboratory of Claude Bernard, Sechenov reported 'on central inhibition'- the repressive effects of thalamic nerve centers on spinal reflexes. He thus inaugurated research on inhibition phenomena in the central nervous system. His discovery led Sechenov to suggest the theory of cerebral behavior mechanisms, according to which all conscious and unconscious acts are reflexes in terms of their structure. The theory provided the basis for the development of neurophysiology and objective psychology in Russia, including the investigations of Pavlov and Bekhterev' (DSB). Hirsch-H. V, 382. 2.
