The Topography of the Brain.
Abundant proof has been adduced of .the fact that the brain may be handled, irritated, or partially destroyed without neoessary danger to life. One of the latest developments of this method of investigation has been the discovery of those centres in the cortex which preside over voluntary motion, whioh have been, more especially by Prof. Ferrier, differentiated and localized with great precision. This important knowledge has been arrived at by an extended series of experiments conducted on living animals, in which, by observing the several effects or destroying limited areas of their brains, the different functions of these special localities have been determined. A topography of the cerebrum has thus been constructed, in which the various faoulties have been mapped out.— Nature.
