Abstract
Like most modern ideas concerning the localization of function in the cerebellum, the placing of the laryngeal center in the anterior lobe arose from Bolk's comparative anatomic studies.1 He said that he was not certain where one should seek for the laryngeal center. Since the larynx arises from the visceral muscles of the head and belongs functionally with the tongue, the pharynx and the other organs of vocalization, he believed that it should be controlled with the bilaterally coordinated muscles of the head in the lobus anterior2 rather than with the muscles of the neck in the lobulus simplex. As early as 1904, van Rijnberk3 checked Bolk's other anatomic conclusions with physiologic experiments and showed that lesions in the lobulus simplex disturbed the functions of the muscles of the neck, and that lesions in crus I of the lobulus ansiformis disturbed the function of the ipsilateral foreThis publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
