Dejerine and Mouzon (Revue neurolog. 1915. No. 17-18), when examining two patients with wounds to the skull in the area of the sensitive zone of the cerebral cortex, note the special nature of the disorders observed at the same time. Therefore, it is possible to identify a sensitive cortical syndrome, which is characterized by almost complete preservation of tactile sensitivity, normal thermal and pain, with a significant change in the stereognostic feeling, the position of parts of the body. From changes in sensitivity with a disease of a visual hillock, the syndrome under consideration is distinguished by a partial disorder of sensitivity, while for diseases of a visual hillock, a change in all types of sensitivity is characteristic.
