Excerpt from Pathology of the Nervous System
In offering this volume to medical students and practitioners the authors believe that they are meeting a real need. They have attempted to describe clearly the anatomical changes which are associated with disorders of nervous function, to discuss briefly questions of pathogenesis, and to indicate in a few words, where it is possible, the relationship between structural alterations and clinical signs and symptoms. It may be true that further advances in our knowledge of nervous diseases must depend on the study of function and disorders of function more than on the consideration of advanced structural defects, but scientific speculation in regard to the former must always be tempered by acquaintance with the latter. No student of neurology or of psychiatry can be fully equipped for his work unless he has spent time and energy in a neuro-pathological laboratory, and the object of this book will be achieved if it serves to economise his time and to guide his energy.
The authors are conscious of the debt they owe to the Board of Management and Medical Staff of the National Hospital for the Paralysed and Epileptic for the opportunities of working in the laboratory of that institution.
