VI. A minute analysis (experiments) of the various movements produced by stimulating in the monkey different regions of the cortical centre for the upper limb, as defined by Professor Ferrier

Abstract

The following research was undertaken as a necessary preface to an investigation, which we are at present engaged upon, into the localisation of motor function in the cervical enlargement of the spinal cord. Briefly speaking, the experiments from which the following conclusions have been drawn consisted in an elaborate examination of the movements elicited by stimulating with the interrupted induced current every part of the motor cortex in the Monkey, in which the upper limb is primarily represented, as first described by Professor Ferrier.
