Facts and Observations. 
Are the two Sides of the Brain alike? — Dr. 
Brown-Sequard thinks not. In the course of his remarks, 
at the British Association at Liverpool, he said that the series 
of experiments he had made upon different animals led him 
to the belief that the right side of the brain was more im- 
portant for organic life than the left side. Although the two 
sides of the brain were precisely alike when the animals were 
born, by greater development of the activities one side came 
to be quite different from the other . — Popular Science Eeview.
