Synopsis

This book presents a detailed account of the author's investigations into the functions of the brain and central nervous system. These investigations build upon existing physiological and pathological research to provide a systematic exposition. The book has been almost entirely re-written, with additional topics and modifications. Although the work maintains the author's previously advocated localisations of cerebral functions, it also includes advancements, most notably in the analysis of specific sensory paths. The significance of the book lies in its collation and analysis of the brain's functions in relation to the rest of the central nervous system, helping to define the importance of both higher and lower nerve centres.
