The Mental State Associated with Cerebral Lesions

LELAND B. ALFORD M.D.1

1 St. Louis, Missouri (University Club Bldg.)

The conception of a whole but unstable mentality with the potential responses of such a state is applied to the numerous manifestations of the aphasias, apraxia, agnosia and the frontal lobe syndrome, in place of the philosophy of defect now generally followed. This conception is apparently found to account for all these manifestations, to do so more satisfactorily than the older approach and at the same time avoid the various discrepancies in localization at present unexplained. The predominant role of the cortex in mental functioning is consequently denied.
