If it occupies any part of the anterior two-thirds of thecapsule, the region where the white tract separates the ante-rior extremity of the lenticular ganglion from the head of thecaudated ganglion, and which belong, as you know, to thefield of the lenticulo-striated artery, h& paralysis will be ex-clusively that oi motion ; there will be no durable tr

These are the arteries of the central gray ganglia,or more definitely, the arteries of the corpora striata. Letus here examine the cortical system, leaving for the momentthe gray ganglia. At the bottom of the fissure of Sylvius is seen the islandof Reil, on a level with which the Sylvian artery divides intofour branches, each of which deserves a special name. Thesebranches follow the furrows that separate the convolutions ofthe island and to which they furnish

To simplify a very complex situation, I will confinemyself to the brain ; that is, to that mass of nervous substancecomposed of two hemispheres and situated at the superiorextremity of what are called the cerebral peduncles (cruracerebri). The two hemispheres are nearly symmetrical, and so nearlyidentical in their structure that whatever may be said of theone may, anat

To sum up, the internal capsule, according to modern re-searches, is composed as follows : 1st. By the direct peduncular fasciculi, which traverse thecapsule without entering the ganglia. 2d. By the indirect peduncular fasciculi. Of these someare sent to the corpora striata, which they approach by theinferior face ; o

The description of the striated arteries alone requires someexplanation. With this you will possess, in brief, all that isnecessary to a knowledge of the central arteries, whether theycome from the anterior or the posterior cerebral arteries. Emanating from the superior border of the Sylvian artery,the striated arteries enter the apertures of the anterior per-forated space, where they soon disappear

Itis in that large field that experimentation tends to place thefamous motor centres ; it is there also that clinical experience,aided by pathological anatomy, has located the faculty ofarticulate language. So it is important that we should be well acquainted withthe principal branches rising from the Sylvian artery, andclosely examine their distribution in the fundamental
