1906rif. 685251906. Med. Rec. 69. - New York William Wood & Company 1906 kl.8° 10 pp. orig. wrappers. Rare Offprint! "While the ordinary types of cerebral apoplexy are familiar to every practitioner and present no difficulty of diagnosis the existence of cerebellar apoplexy is not generally recognized. It is undoubtedly a somewhat rare affection. In 187 consecutive cases oi apoplexy examined post-mortem at the Presbyterian Hospital hemorrhage in or softening of the cerebellum was found ip four cases only. Yet an examination of the literature of the past twenty years has shown that in every country cases have been observed and recorded in sufficient numbers to warrant the assertion that it is a condition which should be recognized and properly treated. The list of references appended to this paper gives 27 cases in which cerebellar hemorrhage has been found after death. There is no question therefore of the existence of the affection. The following cases appear to present the symptoms which are characteristic of this form of apoplexy." M. Allen Starr Moses Allen Starr 1854-1932 'Professor of Neurology in the College pf Physician and Surgeons at Columbia University New York City' "had plans for a career in classical culture when he graduated from Princeton and embarked for Germany to study Greek and Roman history. In Berlin however several visits to Helmholtz's laboratory revived a latent interest in natural science. He returned to his native New York graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons P&S Columbia University did a residency at Bellevue Hospital then returned to Europe to work at Heidelberg Vienna and Paris. On return to New York he set up a laboratory in his home and in 1884 published an essay on the sensory tracts of the central nervous system elucidating some of the then-current questions of myelination. Starr's regard as an American pioneer in the field of cerebral localization stemmed from his participation in a symposium on that subject with the famous English neurologist David Ferrier and neurosurgeon Victor Horsley who were delegates to the 1888 Congress of American Physicians and Surgeons in Washington D.C. He became professor of nervous diseases at the Montreal Neurological Institute. During neurosurgical operations they electrically stimulated the surface of the exposed unanesthetized brains of patients who were talking. On-going speech was blocked by excitation of the parietal-temporal area the inferior frontal area and the supplemental motor area of the left hemisphere Penfield & Roberts 1959. Those experimental protocols were a continuation of Penfield's long quest to add to the knowledge of body representations on the neocortex." H.W. Magoun & L.
