1727. About those who constitute the pia meninx of the brain

They were heard even higher overhead, their general motion being a flowing one in the brain crosswise from the front to the back. Then there was another kind of these spirits whose general motion was a flowing one across from each temple toward the middle of the brain, as if coming together where the longitudinal sinus is located.
