Abstract

It is now well known that the brain is electrically excitable. Physicians frequently make use of electromagnetic properties to monitor or localize brain functions in patients (e.g. EEG, MRI or electrical stimulation of the brain). However, in the nineteenth century, it was accepted as a fact that the cerebral hemispheres were non-excitable ‘by all common psychologic stimuli’ [1]. This dogma prevailed to such an extent that studies that challenged this concept initially had to be performed outside of the universities [2].

    Grunbaum changed his name into Leyton in 1915.

  4. 4.

    The Wada test cannot specify laterality of all language functions, in particular functions that are classically attributed to the postero-temporal and infero-parietal region (such as verbal comprehension) [139]. Possibly, these regions are spared after injection of sodium amytal.
