Excerpt

Penfield, as depicted masterfully in the 1936 Boldrey’s thesis, produced a detailed, direct electrical stimulation (DES)-generated, motor, somatotopic map, including specific stimulation sites of individual fingers [17, 21]. Harvey Cushing, Penfield’s remote mentor, had stimulated non-human primates while working in England with renowned neurophysiologist, and later, Nobel laureate, Charles Sherrington, and produced in 1902 and 1903 rather coarse human maps with joint movements only [21]. Some 50 years earlier, in 1884, Victor Horsley had performed the first successfully organized intraoperative stimulation of a human cerebral cortex in a case of occipital encephalocele resulting in rapid conjugate eye deviation, attributed by Horsley to the stimulation of the quadrigeminal plate [36]. …
