| Title | Unpublished paper, 'Experimental degenerations following unilateral lesions of the cortex cerebri in the bonnet monkey (Macacus sinicus)' by Edward Lindon Mellus |
| Creator | Mellus; Edward Lindon (1848-1922); American neuroscientist |
| Date | 1895 |
| Description | The object of this investigation is to trace by 'the so-called anatomical method' the degeneration resulting from minute lesions of the motor area of the cortex cerebri through the brain and spinal cord, to locate the path of the conducting fibres in the internal capsule and elsewhere, to follow them as far as possible to their destinations, and by such control observations to check off the results obtained by previous excitation experiments.
Annotations in ink throughout. Includes eight pages of photographs of the brain of the bonnet monkey.
Subject: Zoology / Physiology / Neuroscience
