...started when Shea took pity on the squirrel which appeared on his window sill, standing cutely on its hind legs. Opening the window he allowed the animal to enter and then offered it some unpopped popped corn. Refusing to eat the pop corn, the squirrel started to climb the Yardling's curtain. When he attempted to pull it down, it turned and grabbed his finger...
...teats. But as do birds, it lays eggs. Like fish and turtle, it feeds on water-life. Like the mole, it burrows under ground. Like the duck, it has a broad bill and webbed feet. Like some snakes, it carries venom (male only, in a spur on its hind leg). And it has a beaver-like tail which makes it seem double-ended. Its fur is coarse, runs in color from dark brown to silver grey. No woman would choose it for its beauty or usefu1ness...
...cerebellum, the cat performed the same movements in the opposite direction starting with the right fore limb. Whenever they touch the midline of the cerebellum, "both fore limbs are involved at once and the cat may sit on its haunches with both fore limbs in the air; then both hind limbs become affected...
...significance of these experiments was that stimulation to any spot in a cat's hind brain radiates to other control spots in the hind brain, since in every cat which Drs. Clark & Ward trepanned, the single stimulus set off an unvarying sequence of all the cat's actions. This suggested what every notable physiologist has hoped to prove-that there is a particular spot in the hind brain for the control of every muscle in the body...
...next cat experiment of Drs. Clark & Ward was even more exciting; gave more specific support to this classic but never entirely proved theory. They removed half of their cat's hind brain thus preventing radiation of stimuli, and touched the sound half with an electric current. This time the cat slowly raised only the foreleg on the stimulated side, slowly put it down. Patient Drs. Clark & Ward are seeking other motor centres...
