Abstract

A. OVER OF NORMAL MAN* RUBIN From the Biological Laboratories, Clark University, and the Research Service Worcester State Hospital, Worcester, Mass. (Received for publication April 30, 1938) MOST characteristic spontaneous electrical activity human cerebral cortex is a 10 per sec. oscillation (a ), yet its origin and over the cortex is still undecided. Adrian and Matthews1 and Adrian and Yamagiwa2 reported evidence for the origin cu in the occipital lobes. This view was supported by observations of TWnies.20 On the other hand, Berger6*7*8 maintained that CY could arise in parts cortex other than the occipital lobes. In agreement with Berger, Foerster and Altenburger” found a well defined 10 per sec. over many regions cortex, and Jasper and Andrew&* concluded that the precentral ar is independent occipital lobes for its origin. Prehminary experiments revealed that the two opposing interpretations could be substantiated depending on the method of recording employed. The present investigation is primarily concerned with (a) the determination of which method of recording electro-encephalograms from electrodes on the scalp gives the truer representation ar activity brain tissue under the electrodes, and (b) the bilateral at over the cerebral cortex.
