According to a report of Mr. Nauche, the
Saivanic society Of Paris has made different ex.
periments upen the brain, which throws a great
light upon the operations of the functions of that
organ.
Upon applying the two conductors of a galva-
nc apparatus to the brain of an ANNUAL, a fe w
minutes after its death; the partial contractions
OF the various muscles the face, according to
the spot upon which the application was made,
had been determined /; which seems to prove
that the different parts of this organ have differ
ent functions relatively to the movement which
they communicate to the muscular organs
The same experiments appear to prove that
the hind and fore part of the brain have separate
and distinct functions, for the irritation of the
former upon living animal does not produce
the contraction of any of the muscles, whilst
that of the latter produces it strongly and in,tan
taneously.
