THE FUNCTIONAL RESPONSES OF THE SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM OF MAN FOLLOWING HEMIDECORTICATION

Abstract

THE relation of the cerebral cortex to the activity of the sympathetic nervous system is not yet fully clear. The clinical and experimental observations, which have recently been reviewed by Kennard (1937), have been conflicting, and there have been few quantitative determinations of the effects of cortical stimulation and ablation upon the functions of the human sympathetic nervous system.
