Abstract

This brief sketch is dedicated to the life and scientific work of pharmacologist Vladislav Alekseevich Kraus, who made significant contributions to the study of the functional organization of the brain and the mechanisms of memory. It outlines the main stages of his professional career, from his studies at the Leningrad Sanitary-Hygienic Medical Institute and postgraduate studies at the Institute of Experimental Medicine of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences, to his headship of the pharmacology departments of the Orenburg and Dnepropetrovsk Medical Institutes, and his leadership of a laboratory at the Research Institute of Industrial and Marine Medicine in St. Petersburg. Particular attention is paid to the period of V.A. Kraus's work at St. Petersburg State Chemical Pharmaceutical University (SPCPA), where he engaged in pedagogical activity for over 20 years and contributed to the training of pharmaceutical personnel. The main scientific achievements of V.A. Kraus are presented, including the establishment of mechanisms of drug action on neurotransmitter systems, the reproduction of memory engrams, and energy metabolism in the brain. His research is highlighted, focusing on the study of the effects of psychotropic drugs, hemoperfusion, arginine vasopressin, and other compounds on the nervous system and cognitive functions.
