The primary object of this research has been to elucidate, by the aid of destructive lesions and the study of consecutive degenerations, the tracts by which impressions of general and special sensibility are conveyed to the cortex of the brain. Many of the questions treated of in this paper have been the subject of individual investigation by other inquirers, following different methods, such as the histological method of Golgi; the myelination method of Flechsig; the degenerative method after experimental lesions of the brain in some of the lower orders of animals, and in cases of disease in man.
