Zh Vyssh Nerv Deiat Im I P Pavlova. 1999 Nov-Dec;49(6):893-7.
Ivan Petrovitch Pavlov significantly changed and developed our knowledge of the brain functions and of the behaviour by his fundamental experimental and theoretical work on the physiology and pathophysiology of the higher nervous activity. He was one of the scientists who prepared the development of neuroscience in our century. During the Pavlovian Conference, 1950 in Moscow Stalin and the Communist Party tried to dogmatize his and his pupil's fundamental theories. But his pupils continued to develop Pavlovian ideas in open discussions with representatives of other schools in a very creative way, opening the doors for a system approach to understand the integrative functional systems of brain and behavior. Pavlov emphasized the high plasticity of the central nervous system. He investigated the complex functional systems within the brain and between the organism and its environment, and the designed models for pathology of the higher nervous activity. During his last years, Pavlov freed himself from the strong deterministic view and characterized the organism and its environment as a self-organizing system.
伊万·彼得罗维奇·巴甫洛夫通过他在高级神经活动生理学和病理生理学方面的基础实验和理论工作，极大地改变并拓展了我们对大脑功能和行为的认识。他是为本世纪神经科学发展奠定基础的科学家之一。1950年在莫斯科召开的巴甫洛夫会议期间，斯大林和共产党试图将他及其学生的基础理论教条化。但他的学生们继续以非常有创造性的方式，与其他学派的代表进行公开讨论，进一步发展巴甫洛夫的思想，为采用系统方法理解大脑和行为的整合功能系统打开了大门。巴甫洛夫强调中枢神经系统具有高度的可塑性。他研究了大脑内部以及机体与其环境之间的复杂功能系统，并设计了高级神经活动病理学模型。在他生命的最后几年，巴甫洛夫摆脱了强烈的决定论观点，将机体及其环境描述为一个自组织系统。
