It might now appear tempting to continue the conclusion by connecting the remaining highest lobe and the lower extremity. But probably SWEDENBORG did not consider that he had sufficient ground for this. The description by VIEUSSENS did not here furnish any suitable guidance, for it was possible that the coarse fibres of the middle region continued so far down into the spinal cord that they could innervate not only the muscles of the abdomen but also those of the lower extremity. For this reason SWEDENBORG refrains from localizing exactly the centre of motion of the lower extremity and contents himself with stating in general terms only that this centre might lie above that of the abdomen. He therefore says: ›the order seems to be so disposed that——the muscles and actions, which are in the _ultimates_ of the body, or in the soles of the feet, depend more immediately upon _the highest parts (of the brain)_›, whereas concerning the thorax and abdomen he says that they depend upon the middle _lobe_, and of the head that it depends upon the third _lobe_. (›The Brain›, No. 68). I believe that this is the reason why SWEDENBORG’s doctrine of localizations as concerns the motor centre of the lower extremity is expressed in such vague terms. From a comparison of these descriptions by SWEDENBORG and VIEUSSENS we have found that there are such considerable similarities between them that they in many respects agree point for point. And it therefore seems to me rather probable that SWEDENBORG derived his conception of the more detailed localization of the soul’s activity from the descriptions of VIEUSSENS.
