Kleist (1934)
Karl Kleist (1879-1960) was a German neurologist who compiled a comprehensive functional mapping of the cerebral cortex from the case notes of some 1600 World War I head-wound casualties.

Kleist's
(1934) Cortical Localisation:
Diagram (a) shows the lateral aspect of the left hemisphere, and diagram (b) the medial. Each entry shows Kleist's
judgement as to that area's function, together with the corresponding Brodmann's Number. Note the concentration of primitive
functions (olfactory and affective) around the limbic lobe (medial aspect,
stippled). Note also the attribution of "subjective experience" to
the cingulate gyrus. If this diagram fails to load automatically,
it may be accessed separately at |
