Présentation de l'éditeur

But anatomy alone does not suffice for a thorough understanding. We must not desist entirely from the attempt to investigate the intermediate processes which lead from external to internal experience. Hence the relation of bodily and mental disturbances must be made clear by the intimate association of cerebral pathology and psychopathology. The Brain as theS ite of Normal Mental Processes. Anatomically the brain is the rallying-point of almost all the spinal systems of fibres; in addition the most varied association-systems are present in the cerebrum itself. Comparative anatomy teaches that relatively to the size of the body the size of the cerebral lobes increases, in general, with the intelligence of the animal. The same relation is shown in the increasing development of the surface of the brain by fissures and convolutions, and for this reason the cortical gray matter is universally regarded as an especially important part of the cerebrum. As a rule, individuals of great mental activity possess very large brains, with a marked development of the surface. It is probable that great importance also attaches to the thickness of the cortex. Developmental history shows that the development of the surface and the mass of individual parts does not always coincide in point of time with the appearance of higher mental activities, but that it precedes the latter in a certain measure. The association-fibres in the cerebral cortex develop within the first year of life, and it is not until the age of seven to eight years that they attain the arrangement which is permanent in adults. The development of these fibres occurs latest in the frontal lobes. A further argument in favor of the view that the mental processes take place in the brain is furnished by selfobservation during mental processes, which are accompanied by very feeble sensations in the brain.
