Excerpt from Insomnia and Its Therapeutics The condition of an animal asleep has been likened to one robbed of its cerebral hemispheres, capable only Of excito motor acts. The nervous system, as a whole, is in a quiescent state; its functions are curtailed, and those which persist are carried on in a modified manner. The psychical centres in the convolutions of the brain are functionally active during mental Operations. These have not, like the motor centres, been definitely localized, but their physiological (if hypothetical) existence cannot be questioned they embrace intellectual, emotional, and volitional centres. Activity originating in these is coincident with molecular changes in the cerebral cells, changes which are the sources of thought, emotion, and volition. The nature Of the molecular metamorphosis is unknown, but that is no reason for doubting its occurrence. During sleep this molecular activity ceases, and simultaneously, mental Operations are suspended, and consciousness and volition are in abeyance.
