volition and intelligence appear to be largely, if not entirely, lost, 

 the body is still capable of executing all the ordinary movements 

 which the animal in its natural life is wont to perform, in spite of

 execution of these movements lies in some part of the brain

 thinking that it is situated in the structures forming the middle 

 and hind brain ; as we shall see, interference with these parts 

 produces at once remarkable disorders of movement.
