moved too much and too last
The doctors, charged with his
cart, noted the similarities be
tweea ho behavior and the rest

named Alex. Alex paced back anil
forth in his cage at a rapid rate.
Often he would stop, leap at the
bam and then return to his pac

eeemingly caught on a mental
treadmill, were the victims of

one of the great unknowns w the
human body the three-pound,
graoefruit-siied 10-biUion-celled
brain
Dr Davis first task was to dis
cover exactly hat part of the
brain controls restlessness or too
much body activity
Brail Divided
Scientists haw believed that the
cortex or outer layer of the brain
took care of most of our con
Si ions work The back of the cor
tex controlled vision, the left side
made us talk the top helped us
feel things The front was the ren
ter of body motion
But the experiments of Dr Dav
is cas doubt on the function of
the front cortex
The scientist opened the skulls
f Rhesus monkeys. Instead of
damaging the cortexes. he pieroed
them without harm and destroyed
deep areas msidt the front of the
brain
Thea he put the monkeys ii
Special cages The cage vert
quipped with electric eyes that
signal aa automatic r t c r d t r
whenever the monkey pact the
cage or leap upoa th ban.
A normal monkey might pact a
tage N times during aa hour and
leap upon the bars times with
in thit time But i monkey with
l damaged inner brain pace
tome tot times an hour and leaps
19t times
And the bran damaged monkey
keep up the pace Except for
sleeping; time. Alex, lor etampit,
las paced aad leaped far to
much every day sine hit opera
tion over ll month ago
The results prove that restlesa
aeai cai e caused by damaging
the hwdt f th brain without
hurting th frontal enrtax
What It the significance? The

brain doe, b cannot us sur

Psychiatrists in mesial hospitals

His tests show the lamous drugs

al Mor surprising were the results
from injections of amphetamine or
benzedrine and phenidylate Al
though classed exciting drugs
these also reduced restlessness
And the animal remained alert.

When both tranquilmng and ei
