About the book: 2023 / This book, in which dreams and reality are intertwined, is dedicated to the life of the outstanding neurophysiologist Academician Natalya Petrovna Bekhtereva. It is amazing that the heroine’s dreams not only reflect the events of the past, but also serve as a projection of the future. Her first-person story about overcoming the vicissitudes of fate, about the path to major scientific discoveries, skillfully guided by the questions of her interlocutor, achieves a rare, confessional frankness. Before us is an autobiographical, unvarnished portrait of a truly great woman.
