Near fine cloth copy in a good if somewhat edge-torn (with some loss) and dust-dulled dust-wrapper, now mylar-sleeved. Remains particularly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and strong. Physical description; xv, 430 p., [2] p. of plates : ill. ; 25 cm. Notes; Includes index. Includes bibliography (p. 412-427) and index. Contents; 1. The development of the objective method in investigating the physiological activities of the cerebral hemispheres -- Concept of reflex -- Variety of reflexes -- Signal-reflexes, the most fundamental physiological characteristics of the hemispheres -- 2. Technical methods employed in the objective investigation of the functions of the cerebral hemispheres -- Response to signals as reflex action -- Unconditioned and conditioned reflexes -- Necessary conditions for the development of conditioned reflexes -- 3. The formation of conditioned reflexes by means of conditioned and direct stimuli -- Agencies which can be used as conditioned stimuli -- Inhibition of conditioned reflexed : external inhibition -- 4. Internal inhibition of conditioned reflexes : extinction -- 5. Internal inhibition (continued) : conditioned inhibition -- 6. Internal inhibition (continued) : delay -- 7. The analysing and synthesizing activity of the cerebral hemispheres -- The initial generalization of conditioned stimuli -- Differential inhibition -- 8. The analysing and synthesizing activity of the cerebral hemispheres (continued) -- Examples of the analysis of stimuli -- Synthesis and analysis of compound simultaneous stimuli -- Synthesis and analysis of compound successive stimuli. 9. The irradiation and concentration of nervous processes in the cerebral cortex -- The irradiation and concentration of inhibition within a single analyser -- 10. Irradiation and concentration of inhibition within a single analyser -- 10. Irradiation and concentration of nervous processes in the cerebral hemispheres (continued) -- Irradiation and concentration of inhibition over the entire cortex -- Irradiation and concentration of excitation -- 11. Mutual induction of excitation and inhibition -- Positive induction -- Negative induction -- 12. Interaction of irradiation and concentration with induction -- 13. The cortex as a mosaic of functions -- Examples of the mosaic character of the cortex and the more obvious ways in which this character is acquired -- Variability of the physiological properties of different points of the cortex in some instances, stability in others -- The cortex as a united complex dynamic system -- 14. The development of inhibition in the cortex under the influence of conditioned stimuli -- 15. Internal inhibition and sleep as one and the same process with regard to their intimate mechanism -- 16. Transition stages between the alert state and complete sleep : hypnotic stages. 17. The different types of nervous system -- Pathological disturbances of the cortex, result of functional interference -- 18. Pathological disturbances of the cortex, result of functional interference (continued) -- 19. Pathological disturbances of the cortex, result of surgical interference -- General disturbances of the cortical activity -- Disturbances of the acoustic analyser -- 20. Pathological disturbances of the cortex, result of surgical interference (continued) -- In the visual analyser -- In the tactile cutaneous -- Occurring after extirpation of the frontal lobes -- In the thermal cutaneous analyser -- Arising after extirpation of the cyrus pyriforms -- In the motor analyser -- 21. Pathological disturbances of the cortex, result of surgical interferences (continued) -- Attempt to correlate the general postoperative behaviour of the animals with the disturbances in the activity of individual analysers -- 22. The general characteristics of the present investigation and its special difficulties -- Discovery of certain errors necessitating the modification of some earlier interpretations -- 23. The experimental results obtained with animal.
