Cet ouvrage retrace des liens anciens et profonds entre la physiologie bernardienne et la naissance de cette discipline en Russie dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, ainsi que les circulations qui en résultent dans le domaine des sciences du système nerveux avant, pendant et après la période stalinienne. L'objectif de ce travail est de montrer les enjeux et les conséquences scientifiques de l'alternance de périodes de communication et de repliements entre écoles de recherche de pays différents en neurophysiologie et dans les domaines voisins.


Il apparaît alors que les anciennes relations franco-russes ont joué un rôle majeur dans la constitution d'une neurophysiologie internationale après la mort de Staline et que la nouvelle rencontre entre Est et Ouest dans ce domaine n'a pas fini de faire naître des programmes de recherche transdisciplinaires à la marge de cultures très différentes comprenant notamment la science pavlovienne des réflexes et les pré-cybernéticiens russes.


History of the neurosciences in France and Russia



From Charcot and Sechenov to IBRO


This book provides a vivid description and analysis of the intense relations between the experimental physiology of Claude Bernard and the birth of Russian physiology in the second part of the 19th c. It also provides accounts of successive international exchanges in the field of the sciences of the nervous system before, during and after the Stalinist period. The aim of this work is to highlight the scientific consequences when French and Russian research schools, depending on the political regime, engaged in discussions or remained isolated in neurophysiology and related fields. It appears that long-lived Franco-Russian relations played a major role in the birth of international neurophysiology both at the turn of the 20th c. and after the death of Stalin. The new encounter between Eastern and Western scientific schools gave birth to, and still continues to support transdisciplinary research, on topics such as Pavlovian heritage and Russian precyberneticians, on the border of different scientific cultures.
