In view of the recent indications made by Dr. Piltz concerning the existence in the rabbit cortex of a special shrinking eye center in the posterior hemisphere, I think it is not superfluous to point out my long-standing studies on the excitability of the cerebral cortex in monkeys, in which I have also noted the shrinking eye centers in the vicinity of the rabbit cortex.In this regard, the corresponding instructions were made by me in 1897 in one of the scientific meetings of doctors of the clinic of mental and nervous diseases in St. Petersburg.
