On the state of the motor area of the cerebral cortex during mental activity

Abstract

Prof. Suchenov, comparing the human brain with a machine, says that all the nervous projectiles of the animal body can be viewed as mechanisms constantly charged with energy and always ready for the discharge or action of a shock in one or another part of the projectile. Continuing the comparison, we can say that the will, which is the initiator of the movements of voluntary, is likened to the machinist, who starts the well-known mechanism, and that already operates according to its own laws, and just as all manifestations of brain activity can be reduced to muscular movements of the muscle. you can judge the state of the nerve centers.
