II. His second statements, his essential _doctrine of localization_, showed in many points a great agreement with that presented by VIEUSSENS, but also contained important differences, which partly rested upon the conclusion to which SWEDENBORG had previously come, concerning the importance of the cortex for the psychic life, partly depended upon the new point of view concerning the correspondence of the cerebral regions to those of the body, to which he had arrived in his work supported by clinical results. The _detailed_ doctrine of localizations seems to have been constructed with the assistance of VIEUSSENS’ detailed statements concerning the connection of the nerves with the various regions of the cerebral medulla. III. His third statement, his—so to speak, ›_Cerebellular theory_›, that the ›Cerebellula› were the units of which the brain was in reality composed, and that the function of the cortex was essentially the summing up of the activity of the ›Cerebellula›, and that the ›Cerebellula› were connected with one another into various kinds of groups, corresponding to the various kinds of perceptions and to the different movements of the body, etc., this was grounded in part upon the discoveries of Malpighi and others and their detailed descriptions of the structure and situation of the cortical elements and their connection with each other, in part upon SWEDENBORG’s clinical experiences and his own previously drawn conclusions, which be further followed up. The first two statements have in our time been embraced with the liveliest interest and essentially corroborated. And as concerns the third, the same applies in part; but how great the validity of this statement is, it is for the future to decide.
