Excerpt from Knowledge, Vol. 5: An Illustrated Magazine of Science Plainly Worded Exactly Described, January to June, 1884

Humain, from which the previous case is cited, there is a plate representing the right cerebrum entirely destroyed by apoplexy, yet the owner of this half-destroyed brain, jouissait de toute son intelligence.

It is singular that Cruveilhier, in dealing with this and similar cases, speaks of the intelligence remaining unim paired, with so little emphasis as to show that he had not paid special attention to the circumstance. Yet surely nothing can be more thoroughly inconsistent with the belief that the brain is to be regarded as a single organ, in this sense, at least, that the various portions of it are all essen tial to its complete action.
