There is in such subjects no form or degree of cardiac disturbance which may not be caused by indigestion, scarcely...

A given movement, therefore, must be represented in the Corpus Striatum by a group or groups of cells giving off downward processes, which become fibres of the motor tract of the cord. When the movement is simple, or when the co-ordination required can be effected by the cord as in walking, the cell group will be small, and the descending fibres few. When the movement is...
