We often hear that the conclusions drawn from experiments with damage to the cerebral cortex, performed on dogs, cannot be transferred to humans. Although Goltz does not share this view, he readily admits that it would be desirable for the study concerning the sending of various parts of the brain to be extended to such animals, the structure of which is closest to the structure of a human. At the present time there are already quite a significant number of published experiments carried out with success on monkeys. Personally, the author has relatively few materials, but he considers one of his experiments worthy of a detailed presentation.
