MAPPING A BRAIN.
Tests TO Discover Control Of Limbs ana
Muscles.

Eminent surgeons have long en-
deavored to find out precisely what
parts of the brain control the various
muscles and limbs OF the body, with
a view 10 ascertaining therefrOm new
ways Of treating diseases of the nerv-
Gus system Sufferers from such COM
paints, especially such as cause inter-
upton of the muscular action. may
have reason to bless the memory Of
certain great apes, who have cooper
ated unselfshly with, and without
being consulted by, some British Sci
entists and surgeons - series OF
privately conducted experiments to-
demonstrate new facts about the brain.
Though the scientific partnership was.
fatal to the apes. they lived admired,
and died universally respected. and
their photographs will be handed down
in medical history. Studies of the
brains of the higher apes have shown
that their composition was sufficiently
like that of a man to Justify the belief
that Investigations made on these
brutes would furnish knowledge about
the human brain. To understand the
experiments thoroughly. it is well 10
remember that the brain may be
roughly divided into two great por-
tions-the frontal and the occipital-
what are separated by the fissure Of
Rolando. This fissure extends across
the top Of the human head and down
on each side at about the region Of the
temples.
All that part of the brain which lies
in front Of it-that is, the brain that is
over the eyes and fills out the frontal
region of the heads known as the
frontal lobe. This frontal lobe, il has
been found, does almost all the work
of ordering and controlling the motion
of the body. and the exercise OF its
various physical functions. II is the
