Clinical and Surgical Studies of the Cerebral Speech Areas in Man

  • Chapter
Cerebral Localization

Abstract

The continuing studies of localization of function in the human brain at the Montreal Neurological Institute stem directly from Dr. WILDER PENFIELD’S 1928 period of study in Breslau with OTFRID FOERSTER. This experience provided a major part of the background and stimulus for the program of surgical treatment of medically refractory focal epilepsy initiated by Dr. PENFIELD when he returned to North America and took up his new post at McGill University in Montreal (4, 6). This program and the associated studies of cerebral localization of function were steadily expanded through the years by Dr. PENFIELD, his associates and his successors (5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14). It is therefore particularly appropriate and with much pleasure that we submit this report in honor and in memory of OTFRID FOERSTER.
