Paper, 'On electrical excitation of the occipital lobe and adjacent parts of the monkey’s brain' by Edward Albert Sharpey-Schafer Sharpey-Schafer writes: 'The cortex of the occipital lobe has been explored electrically by Ferrier and by Luciani and Tamburini. In ten experiments upon monkeys Ferrier was unable to obtain any movements on stimulation of this part. Excitation of the angular gyrus produced conjugate deviation of both eyes to the opposite side, with sometimes an upward inclination when the anterior limb was stimulated, and a downward inclination when the electrodes were applied to the posterior limb.'
