[From chronobiology to chronotopobiology]

Abstract

Based on the data available in the literature and his own findings, the author presents a concept of the spatial-temporary organization of biological systems. Experimental evidence is provided for this concept with emphasis on its theoretical and medical values. A role of spatial and temporary organization in the activity of the biological system is shown separately. It is emphasized that the spatial-temporary organization of biological system is not the sum of properties of components of its spatial and temporary organizations and has its own features. The author proposed to single out a section of theoretical biology dealing with the study of the spatial-temporary organization of biological systems and to call it chronotopobiology.
