Abstract
THE Journal of Physiology, vol. iv. Nos. 4 and 5, December, 1883, contains:—An account of the discussion which took place in the Physiological Section of the International Medical Congress held in London, 1881, on the localisation of function in the cortex cerebri. Prof. Goltz of Strasburg, it will be remembered, exhibited a dog, and Profs. Ferrier and Yeo a monkey. The brains of these animals were handed over to a Committee, consisting of Dr. Klein, Mr. Langley, and Prof. Schafer. The report of this Committee is preceded by a memoir on the normal structure of the dog's brain, by J. N. Langley (plates 7 and 8), and the report consists of a report, on the parts destroyed on the right side of the brain of the dog operated on by Prof. Goltz, by J. N. Langley (plates 9 and 10); of a report on the parts destroyed on the left side of the brain of the same dog, by E. Klein (plate II); and of a report on the lesions primary and secondary in the brain and spinal cord of the Macaque monkey exhibited by Profs. Ferrier and Yeo, by E. A. Schäfer (plate 12).
