Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Annual of the Universal Medical Sciences, Vol. 2: A Yearly Report of the Progress of the General Sanitary Sciences Throughout the World Although the literature of the year on the subject of disorders of the brain might be considered as profuse, the great majority of the papers published do not come within the scope of the Annual, belonging rather to the category of able reviews. I have, therefore, limited my attention to the works that seemed to contain progressive features. Practical Relations of Cerebral Localization. - Ferrier, I considering the question of cerebral localization in its practical relations, discusses the subject under three heads. The article is so valuable that we quote freely from it: - "I. Is our knowledge of the functions of the human brain and of the localization of cerebral disease sufficiently advanced to enable us to determine, with a fair measure of accuracy, the localization and nature of disease affecting the cerebral hemispheres? "Apart from a few empirical generalizations and brilliant hypotheses, the doctrine of cerebral localization first entered on the stage of demonstration and prediction with the experimental researches begun by Fritsch and Hitzig in 1870. It is since this time that the facts of clinical medicine have been capable of being read intelligently, and that order has been gradually evolved out of what was previously almost chaos and confusion. There is still, however, considerable diversity of opinion as to the explanation of many clinical facts, and the application of the doctrine of cerebral localization to the diagnosis of the nature and seat of disease has not always been verified in practice; but it is generally admitted that, even when errors have been committed, it is not the principle itself but its application that has been at fault.
