Summary We can produce movements of ears and eyelids Iiy stimulation of the anterior part of the cortex of the pyriform lobe. In their neuronal relationship it is different from those evoked from the lateral surface of the hemisphere or from the masticatory movement made excitible from the pyriform lobe. The impulse may apparently be transmitted from that part of the cortex directly, yerhnps through the medial parts T and T ( Völsch ) of the amygdaloid nuclei leading into the subrortical gray matters; thereby cortical face‐area and thalamus seem to play no part in it. Exact histological investigation concerning the effective area was done by the melhod of Marchi and Nissl . From these experiments it is likely that we may ascertain that the amygdaloid and periamygdaloid areas are concerned with the extrapyramidal motor system in certain respects.
