Gustav Fritsch (1 Jan 1838 Jahr – 1 Jan 1927 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

German Physiologist

-Worked out of his living room alongside Eduard Hitzig in studying the effects of the electrical stimulation (sensation compared to a soft lick) of various areas in the cortex

-Provided evidence supporting localization by identifying several motor centers in the front half of the brain, all within mm's of each other

-Stimulation of these areas produced consistent movements:
Area 1: neck
Area 2: anterior leg (extension)
Area 3: anterior leg (flexion)
Area 4: posterior leg
Area 5: face

-Localization --> identifying specific brain area functions became known as "New Phrenology" or "Scientific Phrenology"
