The study of the cortical centers of the larynx counts at the present time quite a lot of observations, both experimental over animals and clinical over people. We find fragmentary indications for these centers already at Terrier, Duret and Munk, but only Krause in 1884 laid a solid foundation for the study of cortical centers of the larynx. He proved by a number of experiments that in dogs with irritation of gyrus praefrontalis, except for the already mentioned contractions of the pharyngeal muscles and soft palate, as well as contraction of the laryngeal muscles and closure of the glottis. Semon and Horsley supplemented these studies with experiments on rabbits, which also had a center of the laryngeal muscles at the edge of the olfactory groove, and on monkeys, which they found this center in the lower part of the anterior central gyrus.
