the Department of General Physiology at the All- Union Institute 

 of Experimental Medicine (Leningrad). Chernigovskii also 

 worked in the Naval Academy, Leningrad, from 1941 to 1953 

 and at the same time at the Institute of Physiology (reorganized 

 into the Institute of Normal and Pathological Physiology of the 

 Academy of Medical Sciences). In 1953, he was made Director 

 of this Institute. He was elected a Corresponding Member of 

 the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences in 1953 and in 1960 an Acade- 

 mician. Chernigovskii has been a Corresponding Member of 

 the Academy of Medical Sciences since 1948, and an Acade- 

 mician since 1950. From 1953 to 1957 he was Vice-President 

 of the Academy of Medical Sciences. In 1944 the Academy of 

 Sciences awarded him the I. P. Pavlov Prize for his "Afferent 

 System of Internal Organs." As of 1961 he was Director of the 

 I. P. Pavlov Institute of Physiology. In March 1962 he was 

 elected to the Supreme Soviet as a delegate from R.S.F.S.R. 



The basic works of Chernigovskii are devoted to the research 

 on interoceptive reflexes and functional interrelations between 

 the cortex of the cephalic brain and internal organs. He studied 

 interoceptive reflexes and their mechanisms in detail. New 

 reflexes were described and characteristics given of the intero- 

 ceptive analyzer. Extensive investigations were made of re- 

 flex control in the blood system and the role of the nervous 

 system in the pathogeneses of a number of diseases.
