In the 1930's Moniz developed Profrontal labotomy, which involved drilling holes into either side of the skull and inserting a leucotome in order to destory the connection to and from the prefrontal cortex. This procedure was a full length surgical procedure and required extended stay in hospital Due to the timely nature of Prefrontal Labotomy, Freeman developed Transorbital Labotomy. this involved inserting an intrument into the eye socket in order to access the brain. the intrument was moved around to destory connections between the pre-frontal areas and other brain areas.
