Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Brain, Vol. 35: A Journal of Neurology
Though not germane to the subject, reference must not be omitted to the classical work of Flechsig [8] on cortical localization, since this has so largely served as the basis of the more modern researches in this subject. Whilst these myelinogenetic observations of Flechsig, and the more recent researches of the Vogts, have furnished valuable information for correlation with the results of the study of the cyto architecture of the adult cortex, they are without bearing on the early evolution of the cerebral cortex, as lamination and histological differentia tion occur at a much earlier date than does myelinization.
The observations on the mode of evolution of the cortex of the foetus to which reference has just been made have enabled certain general laws of development to be stated. They are, however, not sufficiently complete to enable detailed statements to be made with regard to the early evolution of the cortex and to the histologically differentiable areas which first make their appearance.
