such reactions In each Of these different
groups Of animals first one region Of the
"old brain" then another comes to domi-
nate and regulate the activities Of the
animal
The cerebellum is in control in certain
fishes, while the mid-brain controls in
frogs. It is only among the higher ami
mails and man that the great regulating
centre for all OF the higher mental proc
esses is located in the cerebrum. The
two halves OF the cerebrum are connected
by prominent bridge CORPUS callosum)
that brings all Of the regions N this COM
plex organ into intimate connection
I'm eminent men so far studied" says
Professor Smallwood, this bridge is much
thicker than in the brains of savages or
ignorant workmen, clearly indicating that
such an extensive association between the
parts Of the new brain is significant"
The new brain" receives impulses from
all over the body. It is only in the higher
mammals that one single region becomes
the regulating centre for all activities.
From It impulses travel which influence
every structure in the body. Here are
made possible associations which are not
found elsewhere in the nervous system.
In order that the new brain" should
have come to have such a dominating in
fiuence, the powers that It possesses must
have come from other parts of the brain.
Some OF the activities that we're once
regulated by the "old brain" are now con-
trolled by the cerebrum Here we see a
possibility of further, and, perhaps, COM
plete control of his actions by the higher
brain OF the future man.
An interesting comparison is drawn be-
tween man and the kangaroo to show
what a crude organ Is mans "old brain"
The kangaroo is one of the lowest types
OF mammals. A kangaroo with a body
weight OF 100 pounds has a brain weigh
ing>a little less than 21S ounces, or a ratio
of brain to body weight OF to I'll. In
the human race the ratio OF brain to body
weight is 20 ~. the brain being twenty.
two times as heavy as that OF the kanga.
roo,
The Washington times., 1922-04-09

This increase in weight Of the human
brain is almost entirely localized in the
association centres OF the new brain" ana
structures immediately dependent upon
them, the ''old brain" remaining on practi.
cally the same level as in the kangaroo,
except for the actual reduction in man of
some Of the simple sensory apparatus,
notably the centres for the sense Of smell.
Through the "old brain" must come all of
mans sensory information. BY right OF
long usage the routes have become fixed
and are not easily modified. over them
we must believe travels all information
about food, enemies, dangers, recognition
OF offspring and similar fundamental and
universal stimuli
All of the lower centres in the spinal
cord and "old brain" have remained in about
the same condition, while a few OF the
higher associational centres In the "old
brain" have undergone profound changes,
resulting in what is now termed the new
brain"
According to Professor Smallwood, this
must mean that the regulation Of nourish-
ment and elementary reactions are as old
as life and that they became fixed in form
long before man existed. But man has
these reactions in common with animals,
and therefore when one OF the ancient
centres becomes affected recovery will be
Of necessity much slower.
The professor says that shell shock"
is form OF fear and It is probable that
in the severe cases OF shell shock some
one Of these ancient centres has been
affected, with the result that recovery
must be correspondingly slow. Reason
controlled men as they faced undreamed
of dangers on the fields of Flanders and
France, and this aspect Of mind is largely,
II not entirely, confined to his new brain"
But when the old centres once broke
away from the control of the new brain"
they literally assumed an ancient right
which only patience and time can restore.

the bonds OF the "old brain" II would be
saved from such fear states although that

would be one OF the smallest advantages
gained.
The fish represents one Of the early
stages OF mans evolution. In the fishes
the brain is mainly an enlargement of
special sense centres. The forward end
is given over to smell, a large part of the
mid-brain to optical activities, and just
back Of this region is the auditory area.
This differentiation is so evident that
these regions are often designated as the
"nosesbrain," "eye-brain' and the "esr.
BRAIN There is nothing suggestive of the
higher brain OF mammals.
The amphibians, OF which the frog is a
type, represent higher stage Of eyolu-
tion. They begin to show a slight develop
ment in the region of the brain Just back
of the "nosebrain," but the change is
slight. Hardly more can be claimed for
the reptiles, although the turtle has q
conspicuous mass OF nerve cells in the
floor OF the forebrain.
In all OF the fishes, amphfbians and rep
tiles, the spinal cord Is similar. The brain,
however, shows that first one region, then
another, Is the supreme arbiter, with the

The Washington times., 1922-04-09

These wonderful possibilities are sug-
gested in the interesting new work, Man
the Animal" by w. M Smallwood, pro-
fessor of anatomy in Syracuse University
(The Macmillan Coz.
1T is a strange fact" says Professor
Smallwood, that the most specialized re-
gion of the human brain must gain it's
entire information concerning the ma.
terial universe through the so-called fish
organs which are assisted by the senses
of taste and touch. The nerve cells in
the cerebrum new brain) of man receive
their information of the material world
and cause the body to react through
routes that have been in existence in the
nervous system of vertebrate animals
since at least the Devonian geological
epoch, a period of time which must be
estimated at not less than several million
years.
"One cannot help wondering what the
effect would be IL mans cerebrum were In
direct connection with his several sense
organs, and If direct instead Of second
hand information were received by IT,"
There is a possibility that the new

trolling the body, for 1t is steadily increas-

The new BRAIN with its functions of
