Paper, 'Experimental researches in cerebral physiology. II. On the muscular contractions which are evoked by excitation of the motor tract' by V A [Victor Alexander Haden] Horsley and E A [Edward Albert Sharpey] Schafer The authors write: 'The following note gives the results of a large number of experi­ments which we have undertaken, in order to determine the character of the muscular contractions which result from excitation of the several parts of the motor tract, especially with reference to the rhythm with which the skeletal muscles respond to such excitation.' Annotations in pencil and ink. Includes four plates of diagrams of experimental observations. Subject: Physiology / Neuroscience Received 1 December 1885. Read 10 December 1885.
