[Academician A.V. Palladin as a founder of the scientific school of functional neurochemistry].

The article deals with some data revealing the scientific heredity of one of the pioneers, prominent patriarch of the world neurochemistry, academician O.V. Palladin as well as his scientific school on the functional neurochemistry. There have been displayed the most essential achievements of Palladin's school in two basic trends: 1) Estimation of the nerve tissue chemical topography--determination of the chemical components localization and content in morphologically and functionally different branches and microstructural formations of the central and peripheral nerve systems; 2) Initiating and inventing in the field of the functional neurochemistry--identification of the links between the content and intensity of the biochemical transformations of the intracellular chemical components and functional activity of the nerve tissue various structures, as well as these structures physiological functions molecular mechanisms. There are some data about O.V. Palladins's and his disciples participation in the work of the international and european neurochemical societies as well as in some international neurochemical journals, congresses and so on.
