Description

Broadbent shares an investigation in which he aims to ascertain minutely the course of the fibres by which the convolutions of the hemisphere are connected with each other and with the cerebral crus and central ganglia, and to ascertain whether there is a constant similarity between the corresponding sides of different brains as compared with the opposite sides of the same brain.

Annotations in ink throughout. Preceded by four figures of the brain.
