Abstract
THIS important monograph is a very valuable contribution to neurological science, for the following reasons:—(1) It further establishes a correlation between histological structure and physiological function in the brain. (2) It furnishes a complete descriptive atlas of admirable illustrations of the cell and fibre structure of the human cerebral cortex, whereby neurologists will be enabled, by adopting Dr. Campbell's methods, to examine pathological states of the cerebral cortex and compare the same with the normal. (3) It deals with certain important pathological conditions of the cerebral cortex bearing upon the subject of correlation of function and structure in a fuller, more precise and detailed manner than has hitherto been attempted, viz. amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, tabes dorsalis, amputation of limbs, and deaf-mutism. (4) It adds to our knowledge, by a complete comparative survey of the cell and fibre structure, of the cerebral cortex in the following mammals:—cat, dog, pig, anthropoid apes, and man.
