It became very widespread, so jacobson decided to test this in monkeys in 1930. Jacobson took a group of monkeys and trained them to do intellectual activities, he then performed frontal lobotomy (removing the prefrontal lobe). If the distraction is not present (in the dark), then the monkey is able to solve the problem, it"s not entirely due to memory. Then eventually, it developed to the point that every time the researcher tries to get her into the lab room, she would get upset as well. Then jacobson removed her prefrontal lobe, she became completely calm and normal. (20 patients) all survived. He stated that 7 of them had recovered . 7 of the had improved : moniz continued to perform this until 1944, because he was shot by one f his frontal lobotomy. moniz took this idea and performed it on psychiatric patients.
