XXIX.—Degenerations following Experimental Lesions in the Motor Cortex of the Monkey
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 September 2014
Extract
The object of the present research was to follow, by the degeneration method, the course of the fibres proceeding from definite and limited areas of the motor cortex, and to determine to what extent there is a grouping or localisation of the fibres of the pyramidal tract at different levels in the brain and spinal cord.

page 282 note † In the literature the term “internal capsule” is very loosely applied. In every case where a lesion or degeneration of the capsule is described its exact horizontal level should be given.
page 282 note ‡ Strictly speaking, the term “pyramidal tract” should be applied only to those fibres which pass to the spinal cord and govern the movements of the trunk, arm and leg, but by most writers it is used in the most comprehensive sense, and includes all the projection fibres arising from the motor cortex.
