Not illustrated. 1879 Excerpt: ...cannot be destroyed without consequent paralysis. With this paralysis there is a series of complex phenomena, difficult to disentangle, and which Schiff calls ataxia, and which Hitzig considers as significant of the abolition of muscular sensibility; besides the phenomena of paralysis (absence of energy, will), there are also phenomena of special anaesthesia, particularly muscular anaesthesia. 1 Neue Untersuchungen, Arch, fur Anat., 1874, p. 432. Marcacci' has recently observed that the excitable zone of the sheep's brain is chiefly in front of the crucial fissure, where there are four distinct centres, one for movements of the fore-legs, one for the neck, one for the face and tongue, and one for the movements of the jaw. No distinct centre is found for movements of the hind legs. According to Ferrier, the anterior part of the sigmoid gyrus produces movements either in the head, eyes, or neck. I will add, that in experiments made with Bochefontaine, we have confirmed this statement, and we have also observed that with quite moderate currents, movements were induced either in the eyes or eyelids. We have seen electrization of the anterior part of the sigmoid gyrus of a chloralized dog provoke contraction of the orbicularis palpebrare of the same side, and this where the influence of the dura mater'was out of the question, as it was cut to a considerable distance, and upon being excited did not induce the same reflex. Another fact seems to prove that there is not in the manifestation of any given movement the regularity sought for. Indeed, with the same dog, the electric excitation at the same point back of the crucial furrow, without changing position of the electrodes, we have frequently seen were dependent upon the strength of the current, movement of the ...
