Horsley was the first to use electrical stimulation of the human cerebral cortex intraoperatively.
Fedor Krause has previously been credited with being the first surgeon to use electrical stimulation to define epileptic foci in the human cerebral cortex before extirpation. We provide evidence indicating that Krause was probably preceded by Horsley, and Bidwell and Sherrington in England, and by Keen in the United States. Sir Victor Horsley apparently first used electrical stimulation diagnostically in 1884 and slightly later (1886) to define epileptic foci.Karl Urban Greets The “Darkness”

Karl Urban and Adriana Barraza (“Babel”) have been cast in a remake of the 1970 thriller “And Soon the Darkness” for Abandon Pictures and StudioCanal says The Hollywood Reporter.

The Argentina-set thriller follows two American girls on a bike trip in a remote part of the country. When one of them disappears, the other must find her before darkness falls and her worst fears are realized.

Amber Heard and Odette Yustman also star in the Marcos Efron-directed film which is shooting on location in Argentina; the original was set in France.
