HSE Researchers Show How Congenital Motor Disorders Affect Brain Development
Researchers from HSE University’s Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience have synthesised the findings of their previous studies on brain development in children with obstetric brachial plexus palsy and arthrogryposis. Their analysis shows that impaired motor function in early childhood not only limits children’s motor experience but also affects memory, categorical thinking, and information processing. The study has been published in Frontiers in Psychology.

Window into the Body: Scientists Develop Neural Network to Detect Risk of 15 Diseases from Retinal Images
Russian universities, with the participation of HSE University, Sber, and Z-union, have developed a neural network that can simultaneously assess the risk of 15 types of pathology from retinal photographs, including not only eye diseases but also cardiovascular conditions. The AI system can help clinicians detect potentially concerning changes at an early stage, identify signs reflecting the condition of retinal blood vessels, and determine whether a patient may need further examination. The paper has been published in Frontiers in Medicine.

The HSE News Service interviewed Grigory Smirnov, Head of the Laboratory, and Genri Norman, Chief Research Fellow, about the conference preparations and the discussions it generated.

Exploring Fyodor Dostoevsky’s existential thought through the problem of the other
Nikolay V. Ryabchinskiy, Tomsk State University Journal of Philosophy, Sociology and Political Science 2024 No. 82 P. 107–118
Dostoevsky’s existential thought cannot be adequately understood outside the context of the Christian tradition with which he associated himself. Dostoevsky develops his ideas in accordance with the doctrine of “sobornost” by which God reveals himself primarily as the “bosom of universal synthesis”. Such a condition precedes the individual separateness and subjective isolation. Dostoevsky postulates the ...

Пророчество Достоевского о советском и внесоветском бытии

В данной работе речь идет о ключевой роли осмысления Достоевским активно проявившихся в его время программ переустройства мира и попыток их реализации. Делается это Достоевским в глубоком религиозном христологическом контексте, что выводит осмысление далеко за рамки простого осуждения реализации социалистических идей, позволяя выйти не только на понимание причин краха советского эксперимента, но и на горизонты социального и человеческого ...

The latter is traditionally considered a mediator between the two great writers and at the same time the one who disrupted their meeting in March 1878. The author believes that this meeting could hardly have taken place ...

Politics and religion have always been very closely intertwined in all the writings of Dostoevsky, but in his “The Grand inquisitor” this connection is explored in a more fundamental manner for the first time.

Klimova S., DeBlasio A., Slavic Literatures (ранее - Russian Literature) 2024 Vol. 150 P. 117–141
Dostoevskii’s journalistic writings exhibit America as a dangerous place of deception and seduction, a response to the role of America in the political consciousness of his day. At the same time, America appears in nearly all his major novels, including characters who threaten to “flee to America” and, in the case of Shatov and Kirillov from ...

Instead Ivan proposes the idea of “Grand inquisitor,” which would relieve humans from cognition of good and evil in exchange for their freedom. Dostoevsky shows that there are ...

Throughout his career as short prose writer, novelist, essayist, and professor of philosophy, William H. Gass (1924-2017) retained a consistent and well-integrated system of aesthetic values. His formalist commitments, which determined his reputation as a radical postmodern innovator in American letters in the 1960s and 1970s, were recognized as highbrow conservatism during the 1980s.
