Item description from seller

Arch. Neurol. Psychiat., 33. - Chicago, American Medical Association, April 1935, gr.8°, 19 pp., 17 Fig., orig. wrappers. Rare Offprint! "As the result of many contributions to the study of the visual system the main features of its pathway within the brain have been well established. But the question of bilateral cortical representation of macular vision has not been satisfactorily settled, and it is with this problem and with the course of the geniculocalcarine radiation in man that this communication deals. Study of the defects of the visual fields in patients who have undergone radical extirpation of carefully charted areas of the occipital and temporal lobes has led us to certain definite anatomic conclusions. The extirpations were done for the removal of cerebral cicatrices in cases of focal epilepsy. Because of this circumstance there was opportunity for considerable study and comparison before and after operation. " Wilder, Evans & MacMillan "Wilder Graves Penfield (1891-1976) was an American-Canadian neurosurgeon. He expanded brain surgery's methods and techniques, including mapping the functions of various regions of the brain such as the cortical homunculus. His scientific contributions on neural stimulation expand across a variety of topics including hallucinations, illusions, dissociation and déjà vu. Penfield devoted much of his thinking to mental processes, including contemplation of whether there was any scientific basis for the existence of the human soul." The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital) See - Richard Leblanc: Radical Treatment: Wilder Penfield's Life in Neuroscience (2020), pp.91-94.
