Synopsis

Excerpt from A Manual of Autopsies: Designed for the Use of Hospitals for the Insane and Other Public Institutions

In addition to the degeneration of cerebral areas and tracts affecting the special functions, there are also forms of insanity in which the pathological conditions are well marked and constant. This is notably the case in general paralysis of the insane where the conditions are constant and quite uniform in their general characteristics; senile dementia, also, presents conditions of cerebral atrophy and compensatory changes which are quite constant.
