In this post we see a book on neuroscience titled On The Neuronal Organization of The Brain by G. I. Poliakov. Though much of the material in the book may be dated.

This monograph is devoted to a description of certain processesrelating to the establishment, development, complication, andperfection of the orgnniza tion of reflex mechanisms in the evolutionof animal organisms. The material outlined in our present work is, of course, only afragment of the future theory of the neuronal organization of thebrain.

The book was translated from the Russian by H. C. Creighton and was first published by Mir Publishers in 1971.
