I was born in 1959. After leaving school I studied at the Biological Soil Faculty of the Irkutsk State University (1976-1981). The graduation paper devoted to the study of the stereokinetical mechanism of spacial visuality was performed under prof. Lev Nikovaevich Mogilev. In 1986 I finished post-graduation courses at the Leningrad State University. The candidate thesis “Interhemispheric asymmetry of emotional reactions in rats” was defended under Vsevolod Lvovich Bianki. Since 1986 I am a teacher at the Department of Physiology of the Irkutsk State University. The main courses given are: experimental surgery, electrophysiology, comparative physiology, psychophysiology
