61). Notwithstanding this increas- ing complexity and increased power of adjust- ment, notwithstanding the great facility for in- tercommunication, an impact entering the tel- encephalon is not diffused universally through- out the entire cortex. Doubtless dependent upon the nature of the impact — the exciting cause — and the special environment in which the organism happens to be placed, as well as upon other factors already considered (see p. 79), the transmission pursues a course more or les...s defined. The ti:ansmission is not, however, entirely limited to this course, for the neurones successively involved doubtless discharge their energy not only into those in the direct path- way of the transmission but also into neighbor- ing neurones not directly concerned. There is, so to speak, a lateral transmission, but one of less dynamic power, and which finally dies out within a variable range of the primary activity. Consciousness follows the main train, but also includes a limited and fading field to either side — to all sides, one might say.
