TL;DR
Investigations to the motor cortex of a primate, the common African baboon, are extended to incorporate the method of intracellular recording from pyramidal neurones because it seemed unlikely that the modes of direct and synaptic excitation of these neurones would differ materially from those already seen in the cat.

With this technique it is easy to record sensory discharges in single nerve fibres which develop overwhelmingly large action potentials or in fibres with especially low threshold for sensory stimuli, but it is extremely difficult to explore the behaviour of nerve endings which on stimulation give rise to a limited number of smallaction potentials.

In observations on the motor cortex of the red monkey (Erythrocebus patas) it was found that single pulses of adequate duration elicited solitary movements of thumb and index from a large area which overlapped, medially, another large area from which similar movements of the hallux could be provoked.
