| Summary: | The effects of lesions and stimulation of the cortex on the level of activity and arousal of animals have been studied extensively in recent years. Lashley (1920) found that injury to the frontal cortex in rats produced increased activity, while lesions in the occipital poles resulted in decreased activity. Richter and Hawkes (1939), and Beach (1941) also observed hyperactivity resulting from frontal lesions and, less frequently, a decrease in activity with occipital lesions. [...] |
