Paul Flechsig. Remarks on the auditory centers of the human brain. Neurologisches Central-blatt 1908—Nos. 1 and 2

(The article was the subject of a report read in the Society of Middle German Psychiatrists and Neurologists on October 26, 1907).

Carl Wernike, on the basis of clinical observations, drew a generally accepted, well-known conclusion about the close relationship of the first temporal gyrus with the auditory sphere. Despite the fact that this area is named after him, Wernike himself was far from the idea of attributing all auditory functions exclusively to this gyrus (as the only center) and was rather inclined to think that all the external temporal gyrus are somewhat interested in this respect. This idea is also supported by Munk and Monakow. From the very beginning, the author has kept aloof on this issue and defends somewhat different views that disagree with the generally accepted ones.
