title: [The dominant and neurodarwinism].
abstract: Lately, the trends analysing the traits of likeness between the evolutionary process, immune reactions and brain activity was called as "neurodarwinism" (G. Edelman). It has been established that pre-existed diversity of the material to be selected is the main condition of successful adaptation of the living organism to unknown future. The review of the data obtained in the course of studying the dominant by V. S. Rusinov's school shows that namely the dominant mechanism does ensure the variety of neuronal and behavioural assortment from which new adaptive behavioural acts are formed. This statement allows to consider further theoretical and experimental study of the dominant phenomenon as one of the priority and promising trends of the modern neurobiology.
