 Activity, Consciousness. and Personality
Complication of activity and, correspondingly, complication of its psychic regulation presents an extraordinarily wide circle of scientific psychological problems from whose number it is necessary fist of all to isolate the question of the forms of human activity and their interconnections.
This kind of fractionation of activity for the purposes of describing it formally and applying theoretical- informational measures, however, was confronted by the fact that it resulted in a complete disappearance of the main forming activities from the field of investigation; its main determining factors and activities were, in a manner of speaking, dehumanized.
Thus practical activity, according to the author, is a subject of study for psychology, but only that specific content that appears in the form of sensation, perception, thinking, and in general in the form of internal psychic processes and conditions of the subject.

The essential feature of the higher nervous activity, with which we shall be concerned and which in the higher animal is probably inherent in the cerebral hemispheres alone, is not only the action of countless signalling stimuli, rather it is the important fact that in certain conditions their physiological action changes.
Let us turn now to man. His entire higher nervous activity is also dependent on the normal structure and functioning of the cerebral hemispheres.
Generally, the recent physiology of the higher nervous activity related to the cerebral hemispheres tends to associate acting stimulation with traces left by previous ones (associative memory- according to J. Loeb; training, education by experience - according to other physiologists).

Higher nervous activity is bound to the organisation of the nervous system: it is not an added or supplementary activity; rather, it is essential and integral.
This is the broader consequence of what Pavlov referred to as higher nervous activity, whose site be placed in the cerebral cortex -where connections are established between every aspect of the life of the organism and all the stimuli that may come to act upon it from the outside.
But in these interactions, at all times under the selective control of higher nervous activity, between the organism and the environment, the biological is no longer wholly distinct from the social.

While it may therefore be considered that, like morphine and phenadone, promedol influences higher nervous activity, it possesses the advantage of not producing the negative effects of these other drugs (the excitatory effect of morphine on the vomiting centre, and impairment of the power of discrimination caused by small doses of phenadone).
In 1952, when studying the influence of phenadone on higher nervous activity in dogs, M.M.Lenkevich showed that the administration of small doses of the drug (0.001 to 0.004 mg/kg) causes an increase in the excitability of the cerebral cortex and impairs the power of discrimination.
Later, S.I.Potekhin (1911) thoroughly investigated the influence of morphine on higher nervous activity.

 Ivan Pavlov - Biography
As a result of all this research there emerged an integrated Pavlovian theory on higher nervous activity.
In his study of the reflex regulation of the activity of the digestive glands, Pavlov paid special attention to the phenomenon of «psychic secretion», which is caused by food stimuli at a distance from the animal.
This discovery of the function of conditioned reflexes made it possible to study all psychic activity objectively, instead of resorting to subjective methods as had hitherto been necessary; it was now possible to investigate by experimental means the most complex interrelations between an organism and its external environment.

The latter are manifested in subjective complaints, breakdown, increased fatigue, headaches, etc., and also objectively recorded, although not sharply developed, vegetative neurosis, reversible functional shifts in higher nervous activity, less muscular capacity.
Changes in cardiac activity can arise not only through toxic efforts but under the influence of other harmful factors, in that they in their appearance have to a significant degree, a monotypic character, such as the heart responds to initiation only by the presence of changes in contractility, conduction and rhythm.
However, there are simultaneous corresponding changes in the activity of various organs and tissue, which, although not specific, lead to the appearance of functional and metabolic shifts, reactivity changes, excitability, lability, "readiness" for subsequent stress.

 Chronic Effects of Mercury on Organisms: The effect of mercury on conditioned reflex activity.
The second item is that changes in higher nervous activity produced by chemicals varying in action mechanism on cranial processes, can be normalized by restoration of the active SH- group content.
In the latter case, the disruption of higher nervous activity in test animals arose in a longer experiment (to 9.5 months) at an aerial mercury concentration of 0.002 - 0.005 mg/m
This recalls the reversible nature of conditional reflex activity caused by SH- group blockage and the significance to normal cortical processes of biochemical transformations in which thiol compounds participate.

 Horace Winchell Magoun, June 23, 1907-March 6, 1991 By Louise H. Marshall Biographical Memoirs
The diffuse influence of reticular core activity on the cerebral hemispheres was suggested experimentally in the maintenance of subjective conscious wakefulness and attention to novel stimuli, phenomena that implied a philosophic relationship to higher nervous activity.
This ascending reticular system was shown to be associated with alert wakefulness as a background for sensory perception, higher intellectual activity, for voluntary movements and behaviors, and to provide insights about brain and mind.
He found the injury was to the reticular core of the brain stem, and in experimental animals stimulation of that region either facilitated or inhibited ongoing motor activity, depending on site of stimulus and suggesting extrapyramidal tract involvement, in addition to the usual pyramidal motor innervation.

Starting in 1901 and for the next 35 years, Pavlov, using primarily the salivary reflex conditioning method, systematically accumulated experimental results that were sufficient to formulate the theory of higher nervous activity, which described the functions of the brain in complex organisms' adjustment to a changing external environment.
Subsequently, the Pavlov family was socially mobile; each successive generation moved higher in the church hierarchy.
