Changing Concepts of the Precentral Motor Area

  • Chapter

Abstract

We are nearing the centenaries of the discoveries that muscles can be made to move by giving electric shocks to the pericruciate area of the cerebral cortex of the dog [Fritsch and Hitzig, 1870] and to the Rolandic region of the cortex of the monkey [Ferrier, 1873].
