Lectures on the Early History of Institutions (English)

Irādah, volition, listed among the powers seated in the grey vesicular substance and invoked as the internal stimulus that sets the efferent nerves working, in contrast to the external bodies that stimulate the sensory nerves.

in it are the centres of sensation and the faculties of the intellect, such as thought and will, and in it are many corrugations known as the cerebral convolutions.
