5. Stimulation of the union of the vertical and horizontal parts of the
orbital convolution or frontal lobe, causes opening of the jaws and
bending of head and neck.
6. Stimulation in the front of the union of the frontal and longitudinal
convolutions, or at the union of the Sylvian and second parietal
convolution causes rolling of the opposite eye.
7. Stimulation of union of the frontal and parietal parts of second
parietal convolution leads to closure of both eyelids or, with a strong
current, of lids on both sides.
8. Stimulation of the second parietal convolution, above and a little
behind the extremity of the Sylvian fissure, causes opening of the eye
and adduction of the ear on the opposite side, or, if a very strong
current, on both sides.
9. Strong stimulation of the posterior part of the first and second
parietal convolutions causes tonic convulsions.
10. Currents through the posterior parts of the third and fourth
parietal convolutions gives similar convulsions with violent trembling
of the trunk and members.
In the =Dog’s Brain= localization is easily made by reference to the
crucial fissure which passes outward, right and left, at right angles
with the longitudinal fissure about the junction of its anterior with
its middle third. Also by four parietal convolutions which run backward
from near the crucial fissure, parallel with the longitudinal fissure.
They are counted from without inward. Fritsch, Hitzig and Ferrier have
mapped out the following motor areas:
1. The convolution in front of the outer end of the crucial sulcus
controls the muscles of the neck.
2. The bend of the same convolution backward, opposite the outer
extremity of the crucial sulcus, controls the extensors and adductors of
the fore limb.
3. The convolution just behind the outer end of the crucial sulcus
controls the muscles which flex and rotate the fore limb.
4. The same convolution behind the middle of the crucial fissure
controls the movements of the hind limb.
5. The second convolution back of the crucial fissure controls the
muscles of the face.
6. The anterior part of the internal (4th) parietal convolution, just
back of the crucial fissure, controls the lateral switching movements of
the tail.
7. The posterior angle of the first post-crucial convolution causes
retraction and abduction of the fore limb.
8. The outer end of the first post-crucial convolution, directly behind
the outer end of the sulcus, causes raising of the shoulder and
extension of the fore limb.
9. The anterior end of the third parietal convolution (the second from
the longitudinal fissure) controls closure of the eyelids, the rolling
of the eyeball upward, and narrowing of the pupil.
10. Stimulation of the anterior end of the second parietal convolution
causes partial opening of the mouth with retraction and elevation of its
angle.
