This paper explores the implications of an early criticism of the stimulation studies of Fritsch and Hitzig and Ferrier for localized brain functions. Fritsch and Hitzig and Ferrier concluded that motor centers reside in the cortices of the hemispheres. Their studies were replicated, but their conclusions were not generally accepted initially. The most salient, laboratory-based criticism was that the electrical current used for stimulation diffused well beyond the cortex making their conclusion of cerebral motor centers unacceptable. The diffusion argument was essentially a French suggestion. Ferrier's and American research and interpretations provided data and arguments against it.
本文探讨了早期对弗里奇、希齐格和费里尔的刺激研究进行批评所带来的对大脑局部功能的影响。弗里奇、希齐格和费里尔得出结论，运动中枢位于大脑半球的皮质中。他们的研究得到了重复，但他们的结论最初并未被普遍接受。最突出的、基于实验室的批评是，用于刺激的电流扩散到了皮质之外很远的地方，这使得他们关于大脑运动中枢的结论难以成立。扩散这一论点本质上是法国人的观点。费里尔的研究以及美国的研究和解释提供了反对它的数据和论据。
