The study of ccrel)ral ther-mometry has already led to thediscovery that the left hemi-sphere is normally hotter thanthe right (Hammond); thatwilled muscular action raisesthe temperature of the scalpover the motor centres calledinto action (Amidon, Gray,and others); that mental ac-tivity, emotional excitement,and merely arousing the atten-tion cause a rise in temperature(Lombard); and that tumorsof the brain or its envelopesare indicated by a localizedrise in temperature over theKsite of the neoplasm.
