Summary:

"The book deals with the morphological physiology of a living neuron's structures. In academical scientific literature, the neuron is often called as the neuron body, as it is believed that the main activity of brain cells, its function consists in the most complex metabolic, physico-chemical processes that ensure the vital activity, regeneration and preparation of the electrical imimpulse activity of a huge apparatus of nerve fibers. At the same time they are assigned to the idea of nerve conductors, electrically and anatomically connecting the neurons' bodies with each other and with myocytes. But this book is devoted to a fundamentally different question. Following the example of the famous neuromorphologists - thinkers and practitioners - microscopists Bartalomeo Camillo Golgi and Alexander Stanislavovich Dogel, we again attempted to raise the almost forgotten idea of reticularism of the nervous system. Nowadays we face new conditions, when mastering the unique capabilities of electric synapses that can spontaneously increase the number of imimpulses, build the frequency of bursts from the chaotic neurons' activity, organize cyclic reverberation of imimpulses, like a perpetual motion machine or working memory, build ring ensembles of neurons, integrate a mass of conductors to solve a single mechanism, and transfer therapeutic agents from neuron to neuron, bypassing the environment. And therefore we believe that in these circumstances it is time to review and supplement the great and accepted Neural Theory of Ramón y Cajal, Van Gehuchten and Retzius. The bulk of the nervous brain tissue, as is known, is neuroplasma, but, according to physiology, it is practically absent from living neuroplasma. Is it possible to imagine that the living axoplasm moves simultaneously in opposite directions, that in the hippocampus apical dendrites disappear under stress, hibernation and other situations, and soon reappear, that m. soleus stops contracting "for no reason" in space or that the actual formation of invisible nerve fibers is possible? Are many people cpable to understand that all this is an evident fantasy? No, these are real functional processes captured in videos and demonstrated at physiological and morphological conferences (Sotnikov, 2016; Sotnikov, and Laktionova, 2016). Is it possible to understand the mechanism of transformation, fusion of nerve cell bodies or their fibers on fixed, static preparations (Sotnikov, 2013), the unification of cells into nerve ganglia and synganglia, and the attempt of self-assembly similar to the brain of a primitive invertebrate from individual living cells (Sotnikov, Boguta, Golubev et al., 1994)? Finally, nowadays it is possible to prove that gap junctions are not just stable anatomical structures. They appear, change, and transform into large syncytial pores and expanding perforations in the membrane of soldered neuronal bodies, up to their complete fusion into a single binuclear cell. The stages of a single smooth physiological process (blending) are formed. And syncytium is at the heart of all these processes, and the neuron is not an exception, as it was supposed to be, but the one great cell law repetition. At the sme time syncytium is the main thing that reticularists were focused on. Therefore, we believe that the time has come to edit the neural theory and to formulate a single neural-reticular concept of the nervous system organization, having supplemented it with scientific reticularism data"-- Provided by publisher.
