ABSTRACT

In the prototypical case report of nonvisual dreaming, Charcot (1883/1889) reached the following conclusions:

This necessarily leads one to admit that the different groups of memories have their seat in circumscribed regions of the encephalon [italics added]. And this in turn becomes added to the proofs which go to establish that the hemispheres of the brain consist of a number of differentiated “organs,” each of which possesses its proper function.
