Abstract:
Acute experiments were conducted in sheep anaesthetized with sodium pentobarbital to identify regions in the brain where electrical stimulation would elicit movements of body parts. Stimulating the dorsal frontal cortex 2 mm from midline from the front of the brain backward for 30 mm caused movements, in order, of the lower jaw, face in general, neck, shoulder and front and back legs.
