Excerpt from Annual of the Universal Medical Sciences, Vol. 2: A Yearly of the Progress of the General Sanitary Sciences Throughout the World

The literature of the past year has not been marked by any strikingly original contributions to the domain of cerebral localization. The process of threshing continues. Many papers of an analytical character have appeared bearing upon the general subject, and containing critical resumes, of more or less value, of the work done in previous years. One of the most comprehensive and interesting of such papers was contributed by H. H. Donaldson; another is by O. S. Baines. Sanger Brown publishes cuts of the brain, which are reproduced here, illustrative of our present knowledge of the subject. (See pages 3 and 4.) It will be seen that he rejects Ferrier's view that the angular gyrus is concerned in vision as a cortical centre.

Beck has succeeded in establishing, to his own satisfaction at least, the existence of "cortical-action currents" produced by stimulation of a peripheral nerve. For example, stimulation of the eye of a dog by magnesium flash-light caused a demonstrable electro-negative variation of potential in the occipital lobe of the opposite side, the brain having been exposed of course. The dogs were curarized and the variations determined with a galvanometer. non-polarizable electrodes being used. Fleischl, in later article, claims to have preceded Beck in the demonstration of these phenomena, though, as he acknowledges that he did not publish his observations, Beck's work stands as entirely original.

Centres of Common Sensation. - The results of several autopsies.
