from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Inessa Benediktowna Koslowskaja ( Russian Инеса Бенедиктовна Козловская ; born June 2, 1927 in Harbin ; † February 19, 2020 ) was a Russian neurophysiologist and aerospace specialist .

Life

Kozlovskaya studied at the 1st Moscow Medical Institute (now Sechenov University), where she successfully defended her candidate dissertation after completing her apprenticeship at the Department of Physiology in 1954 . Then began her teaching activities under the direction of MA Ussievich and Pyotr Kuzmich Anochin .

The focus of Koslowskaja's scientific work was the physiology of movements and, in particular, muscle physiology . She investigated the exact movement sequences in animals and the role of somatic afferents in it. With her results she was able to determine the mechanisms of afferent movement control , whereby she established analogies to human voluntary movements. She continued her research as part of an academic exchange program from 1966–1971 at Rockefeller University in the laboratory of Neal E. Miller . Her results formed the basis of her PhD thesis , which she defended in 1976, and were published in the 1976 monograph on afferent control of voluntary movements.

In 1977 Kozlovskaya became head of the laboratory at the Institute for Medical and Biological Problems (IMBP), which was founded in 1963 as a research institute for space medicine on the initiative of Sergei Pavlovich Korolev and Mstislav Vsevolodovich Keldysch . Her academic teacher was the institute director Oleg Georgievich Gasenko . Kozlovskaya was appointed professor. In 1986 she became head of the Department of Sensorimotor Physiology and Prevention . With her investigations into the motion sequences in weightlessness , she made important contributions to manned space travel with long stays. As part of the Bion program, she and her colleagues organized experiments with monkeys on the satellites Kosmos 1514 ( Bion 6 , 1983), Kosmos 1659, Kosmos 1887 ( Bion 8 , 1987), Kosmos 2044 ( Bion 9 , 1989) and Kosmos 2229 ( Bion 10 , 1992).

Koslowskaja led the program for the international neurophysiological examinations on the space stations Salyut 6 , Salyut 7 and Mir in collaboration with experts in Cuba , India , Bulgaria , Austria , France , Germany , Canada , Japan and the USA . Kozlovskaya became a member of the Presidium of the International Academy of Astronautics and Chair of the Life Science Commission . She became a permanent member of the Commission for Gravitational Physiology of the International Union of Physiological Sciences , a permanent member of the program committee of the congresses of the International Astronautical Federation and worked on the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR). Since 1996 she has been a faculty member at the International Space University . In 2000 she became a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN).
