Excerpt from The Functions of the Brain

While my primary object in this edition has been, as before, to give a detailed account of my own investigations, I have endeavoured to present to the reader a systematic exposition of the functions of the brain and central nervous system in accordance with what seem to me, after extensive and critical survey, the best established facts of recent physiological and pathological research.

The book has been almost entirely re-written; a good deal has been added and not a few modifications have been made, chiefly in matters of detail and methods of explanation. The principal doctrines formerly advocated in respect to the localisation of cerebral functions are maintained in all essentials unchanged.
