Neurochemical Journal Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract—Boris Izrailevich Khudy-Khodorov was a biophysicist-electrophysiologist and neurophysiologist, professor, author of a number of monographs and dozens of articles in leading scientific journals, and the founder of a scientific school, who educated a Pleiad of neurophysiologists and neurobiologists who head laboratories or work in research, both in domestic and in foreign scientific institutes and universities. Boris Khodorov passed away in 2014. This year, students and former colleagues of Boris Khodorov celebrated his 100th birthday, and in honor of this event, a conference was organized at the Institute of General Pathology and Pathophysiology, where he worked until his final days. This work was written by disciples of Boris Khodorov. It briefly outlines his biography, and also provides an overview of the scientific areas in which Boris Khodorov was engaged throughout his productive scientific activity: from the study of reflexes, to the analysis of the mechanisms of action of anesthetics and functioning of channels, and ending with studies on the mechanisms of regulation of intracellular calcium levels during toxic glutamate exposure.
