Recherches physiques sur les propriétés et les fonctions du système nerveux dans les animaux vertébrés.
Arch. gén. Med., 2, 321-70. 1823.
Flourens removed the cerebrum and cerebellum in pigeons, showing maintenance of reflexes with loss of cerebration in the former case and disturbance of equilibrium in the latter case. Thus he demonstrated that the cerebrum is the organ of thought and the cerebellum the organ controlling the co-ordination of body movements and of will-power. See Nos. 1388 & 1493.
