Neurodynamics
Historical document, translated for reference. It reflects medical knowledge of the 1920s–30s and is not medical advice.
Summary
Neurodynamics refers to the physiological, physical, and chemical processes underlying the activity of the nervous system as a whole and its various parts and elements. This doctrine forms an essential part of neurophysiology but does not exhaust it, as the latter also includes the doctrine of the localization of nervous and brain functions.
Encyclopedia entry (1928–1936)
Neurodynamics, the aggregate of physiological (as well as physical and chemical) processes underlying the activity of the nervous system as a whole, as well as its various departments and elements. The doctrine of neurodynamics, constituting an essential part of neurophysiology, however does not exhaust it, since the latter includes the doctrine of the localization of nervous and brain functions. Since the localization of functions and the character of neurodynamic processes are most closely conditioned by each other, both these doctrines are in a close mutual connection and in turn presuppose a deep study of anatomy, and especially of the history of development of the nervous system.
