Fifty years since Lashley's In Search of the Engram: Refutations and conjectures
Bruce, Journal of the History of the Neurosciences 10(3), 2001, 308-318. Revisits Lashley's 1950 article In Search of the Engram, which summarised 33 years of his research on memory and the brain; Lashley argued memories are distributed across functional cortical areas and that traces are not isolated input-output connections; his reputation and writing embedded these ideas in neuropsychology.
