The conference “Academician A. A. Ukhtomsky's imperative - the brain and its self-knowledge” will focus on the discussion of the current state of research in the field of brain physiology and cognitive processes. Such questions as mechanisms of cognition and complex forms of behavior, evolutionary aspect of biological and social determinacy of consciousness and thinking, specifics of realization of perception and consciousness processes in representation and acquisition of knowledge, peculiarities of intelligence formation and the role of language as a means of cognition and communication will be considered.

In 2026, it will be the 95th anniversary of the birth of Alexander Danilovich Nozdrachev, an academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, an Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, and an Honorary Professor at St. Petersburg State University. Academician A. D. Nozdrachev is one of the foremost domestic physiologists who successfully combined scientific work at the Pavlov Institute of Physiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences with leading the scientific and teaching activities of the Department of General Physiology, one of the oldest departments at St. Petersburg State University. A. D. Nozdrachev's scientific research focused on studying the neural and hormonal mechanisms that ensure adaptation at the cellular and systemic levels in the bodies of animals and humans. His work has made a significant contribution to the field of physiology dedicated to the organization and functioning of the autonomic nervous system. A. D. Nozdrachev's scientific interests were broad, encompassing not only the physiology of the autonomic nervous system but also the physiology of the heart, respiratory system, processes of interoception, and issues of central regulation of internal organ functions. A. D. Nozdrachev also paid special attention in his work to the history of domestic physiology and the scientific heritage of Ivan Petrovich Pavlov. The National Scientific Conference dedicated to the 95th anniversary of Academician Alexander Danilovich Nozdrachev’s birth will be held from November 17 to 20, 2026, in St. Petersburg, at the St. Petersburg State University and the Pavlov Institute of Physiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
