Abstract
Although the proposition that the cerebral cortex has little to do with a particular sensation would seem to be a foreign idea to most contemporary neuroscientists, it has not been very many years since the neurologists Henry Head and Gordon Holmes suggested that the cerebral cortex plays no essential role in pain. This notion was based on their observations of a lack of permanent effect of parietal lobe lesions on pain as determined by neurological examinations of a variety of patients (Head, 1920; Head and Holmes, 1911; Holmes, 1927a), However, a loss of pain sensation could result if “cortical destruction is recent or progressive, or if it produces convulsions” (Head, 1920). Instead, Head and Holmes proposed that pain (as well as nondiscriminative temperature and tactile sensations) entered consciousness at the thalamic level.
