The volume of changes in the nature of evocative reactions under the influence of music
Abstract
The literature on music, which develops its theoretical and aesthetic side, is known to be very extensive, while, of course, the question of its influence on the psyche is also interpreted, but from a predominantly theoretical side; the experimental study of this influence, even understanding the word experimental in a broad sense, is still in the initial stage and the author in the literature available to him, among the small number of experimental works related to this, did not find a single one that would be devoted to the experimental development of the issue that constitutes the subject of this study.
On the question of ethiology and pathogenesis of psychosthenia
Abstract
With the revival of psychotherapy, interest in neuroses is increasing more and more. New theories are being created, the old are hesitating, yielding to a new trend. Each, more or less pronounced case of neurosis is examined from a new angle of vision, confirming or refuting the still incomplete established data.
Is mercury injected into the body for therapeutic purposes released into the spinal fluid?
Abstract
Is mercury injected into the body excreted into the spinal fluid? This question occupied us with practical and theoretical points of view. On the practical side, we were interested in knowing how much we can count on the circulation of mercury in the spinal fluid and, therefore, on its direct action on the nervous tissue due to the communication of the perivascular (and pericellular) spaces with the sub-arachnoid. If mercury is released into the spinal fluid, it is necessary to search for the therapeutic effect (syphilis of the nervous system) of the drug that quickly and in large quantities passes into the spinal fluid. On the theoretical side, the issue of mercury release is of interest for solving the broader issue of the nature of spinal fluid in general. As is known, there is currently no agreement on this account. Is the spinal fluid transudate, the secretion of the vascular plexus epithelium or the sui generis lymph of the brain itself. In favor of the second1 views are inclined by Schultze, Imamura, Raubitschek, Molt, and others in favor of the last but Spina2 (also Lewandovsky and Blumenthal3. The first view is generally accepted. We thought that the saturation of blood with mercury, which happens with prolonged introduction of it into the body, should lead to the appearance of at least traces of it in the spinal fluid, if the latter is transudate. If the last secret, then apriori nothing can be predicted; extraction depends on the chemical and physical properties of the epithelium itself; the epithelium can secerne one substance and not pass another. The number of substances found so far in the spinal fluid when injected into the body is very limited. When the brain (and membranes) was normal, the substances introduced by the authors did not completely enter the spinal fluid. Widal, Monod4, Sicard was found in tuberculous meningitis iod when giving it during 2-3 days for 3-5 grams only in 3 cases. Guinon and Simon found only 1/2 cases of tuberculous meningitis; no iodine was found in cases of cerebrospinal meningitis. With uremia, Costaigne found iod and methylene blue. Sicard and Widal — didn’t find it. Gilbert and Castaigne found bile pigment in jaundice. Sicard denies. Archard Loeper5 did not find the lithium when it was injected into the blood. Regarding the fate of mercury introduced into the organism, there are no indications in the literature6.
Surgical intervention for seizures of partial epilepsy caused by a brain tumor
Abstract
Patient S., whom I have the honor to present to the Society, was operated on in the nervous clinic of Kazan University for seizures of partial epilepsy, caused by neoplasms in the motor region of the right cerebral cortex. And since such cases are not frequent in the foreign medical press, and in Russia in particular, I use this case as a demonstration.
A case of a combination of Paralysis agitans and Morbus Basedowii
Abstract
In March 1911, a patient was admitted to our clinic, taken with the diagnosis of Paralysis agitans, all the symptoms of which were evident. But a more detailed study and further observation showed with certainty that we do not really have a pure case of Paralysis agitans, since, in addition to the symptoms inherent in Paralysis agitans, such as: general rigidity of the muscles of active, immobility of the trunk, characteristic slowness of maneuver , diminishing with volitional movements, there was still a whole series of symptoms that did not fit into the picture of tremor paralysis.
How to consider the celiac nerves, confused or exclusively inhibitory, for the movements of the small intestines
Abstract
The question of whether the celiac nerves are exclusively inhibitory for the movements of thin whales or they also have an exciting action, that is, the ability to cause or enhance movements, must be considered as yet completely unresolved. Some authors, dealing with this issue, came to the conclusion that exclusively inhibitory function is inherent in the celiac nerve, while others believe that, as far as their influence on intestinal activity is concerned, they are not exclusively inhibitory, but they also recognize motor function. The question is, on whose side is the truth?

Abstract
The object of the author's research was, on the one hand, the brains of various vertebrates, and, on the other hand, pathological material from the psychiatric hospital "All the Sorrows". The author formulates the results of his research in the following provisions:
K. Yatsuta. Tripod for installation of skulls during measurements. Medical Newspaper No. 37, 1912
Abstract
The author describes a crane invented by him, which allows prolonging all measurements of the skull with a constant, definite setting. This is achieved by the fact that the horizontal frame of the crane is easily removed, and the skull remains open and in the same position.

Abstract
Some peculiar phenomena of internal secretion disorder were examined by the author in two of his previous works: Aetiologische und therapeutische Erfahrungen über Vitiligo ("Dyshumorale" Genese und Organotherapie der Flecken). Prag. med. Wochenschr XXXVI, no. 8, 1911 and Sensibilitätsänderung während unwillkürlicher athetoseähnlicher Bewegungen, wahrscheinlich "Spontanbewegungen". Prag. med. Wochensehr.

Ueber eine Unruheerscheinung: Die Hallucination des Anrufes mit dem eigenen Namen (ohne und mit Beachtungswahn). Iahrbüchern für Psychiatrie und Neurologie XXXIII. Band
Abstract
The author summarizes the results of his research on this issue as follows:
1. Hit on the shoulder, nod, exclamations hey, hello, being called by name — all these impressions have the common feature that they all mean a call, a call. Their task is to draw the attention of a given person to an event that is about to take place and to cause him a feeling of expectation of something undetermined, but having an important meaning for him.
Thus, a certain state of mind is created in the given person called, which gives the words or gestures addressed to him the character of a call.
This state of mind is formed on the one hand from the feeling that these words or gestures mean this particular person, refer directly to him, on the other hand, from a feeling of undefined expectation and a sense of importance, significance (Importanrgefühl).
There is a strong associative connection between the mental state of the call and the auditory impression of the pronunciation of one's own name.
2. The main rule of the mental process is that the associative path between two mental elements can be traversed in both directions.
