“Like Leroi-Gourhan, Hertz is concerned to out-maneuver a certain cerebralism.”
cerebrum
(neuroanatomy) The upper part of the brain, which is divided into the two cerebralhemispheres. In humans it is the largest part of the brain and is the seat of motor and sensory functions, and the higher mental functions such as consciousness, thought, reason, emotion, and memory.
“Brain hemispheres were washed briefly with ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline and cerebrums were removed.”
“Indeed, it is next to impossible to shake off these superphysical cerebrums.”
“The survival of three children born with anencephaly-that is, without cerebral hemispheres-demonstrates cerebral activity occurring in tissue other than cerebrums, which must be therefore in the brain stem or elsewhere.”
