The limits of these areas must not l)e interpreted too literally bythe reader as a basis for diagnosis. Each area probably merges almostimperceptibly into those which lie adjacent to it. The central portionof each are more clearly related to special functions than the peripheralportions. The so-called motor area is probably connected not onl}^ withvoluntary muscular contractions, but also with the conscious apprecia-tion of all sensory impressions connected with the muscles. It might,therefore, be more properly designated as the ^muscular area.^ THE (CEREBRAL CORTEX. 15 4.
