There is, perhaps, no subject in physiology of greater importance and general interest than the functions of the brain, and there are few which present to experimental investigation conditions of greater intricacy and complexity. No one who lias attentively studied the results of the labours of the numerous investigators in-this field of research, can help being struck by the want of harmony, and even positive contradictions, among the conclusions which apparently the same experiments and the same facts have led to in different hands. And when the seemingly well-established facts of experimentation on the brains of the lower animals are compared with those of clinical observation and morbid anatomy in man, the discord between them is frequently so great as to lead many to the opinion that physiological investigation on the lower animals is little calculated to throw true light on the functions of the human brain. These discrepancies appear less unaccountable, when the methods of experimentation and the subjects of experiment are taken into consideration. Up to quite a recent date, the principal method pursued by investigators into the functions of the brain, consisted in observing the results following the destruction, by various means, of different parts of the encephalon. The serious nature of the operations necessary to expose the brain for purposes of experiment, and the fact that the various parts of the encephalon, though anatomically distinct, are yet so intimately combined and related to each other as to form a complex whole, make it natural to suppose that the establishment of lesions of greater or less extent in any one part, should produce such general perturbation of the functions of the organ as a whole, as to render it at...
