Nineteenth-century scientists Fritsch and Hitzig discovered that electrical stimulation of the neocortex leads to:

A) hearing sounds.
B) movements.
C) seizures.
D) seeing patterns.

Neocortex

Most recently expanded outer layer (“new bark”) of the forebrain, composed of about six layers of gray matter. Its name is a misnomer, as it actually isn’t newer because it arose at the same time during evolution as other forms of cortex. It is also called isocortex because it is almost always six-layered, with few exceptions.

Fritsch and Hitzig

Fritsch and Hitzig were pioneering neuroscientists known for their research demonstrating the electrical excitability of the cerebral cortex.

  • Understand the relationship between neuronal electrophysiology and behavior.
  • Acquire insight into the evolution of insights regarding electrical stimulation and its impact on nerve cells.
