Abstract
An entire cerebral hemisphere, including the thalamus, can be successfully extirpated from the brain of rhesus monkeys at a single operation without interference with consciousness and with only moderate reduction in motor and sensory function. The operative procedure and resulting physiologic implications are discussed.Keywords
