From the Neuroanatomical Research Laboratory associated with the department of Neurology, Havard Medical School. "In this essay are outlined sonic of the measurable morphological events in the nervous system during its development which may be regarded as criteria of maturation of the brain. I wish to acknowledge now that the treatment of the subject has been inspired by Minkowski's exposition of the development and localization of functions of the nervous system in the fetus and in the newborn, which form a background for some of my own ideas. The pioneering studies of Flechsig and Kaes on myelination of the nervous system, the recent monumental work of Conel on the postnatal development of the cerebral cortex, the cytoarchitectonie studies of Economo and Koskinas and of Bailey and Bonin on the cortex of the adult and the series of pertinent publications from the Moscow Institute of Brain Research were the main sources of documentation used in this attempt to outline the morphological criteria of growth and maturation of the human brain. The conceptual treatment of this documentation is, of course, personal." Yakovlev Paul Ivan Yakovlev (1894-1983) was a Russian-American neuroanatomist who worked at Harvard Medical School.

J. Dis. Child., 99. - American Medical Association, June 1960, 8°, pp.787-802, 8 Figs., orig. wrappers. Offprint! "Among the progressive deteriorating diseases of infancy and childhood, some of which have been dealt with by us in three earlier publications,1-3 a group of conditions associated with the appearance of calcifications in the brain deserves special attention. Calcifications in the brain occasionally found in infants or appearing gradually during childhood are associated with various conditions, some of which have firmly established clinical-anatomical patterns: tuberosclerosis, angiomatosis (Sturge-Weber syndrome), toxoplasmosis, hypoparathyroidism, cytomegalic inclusion-body disease, cysticercosis, and certain tumors. Another group of cases with a very particular form of intracranial calcifications has been classified as idiopathic nonarteriosclerotic calcifications of the brain. It is often referred to as "Fahr's disease." There may, however, be reasonable objections to this eponym because the condition has been known since Virchow's time and long before Fahr. Recently we were able to study two families in which three and two siblings respectively were affected." Melchior, et al.

"In the past eight, years, 4 cases of a peculiar degenerative disease process in the central nervous system of children have been reported in the English and American Literature. The disease process is characterized by the abnormal, strongly refringent, extracellular material deposited in the ground substance of the white matter, but present also in the gray matter and showing particularly dense accumulations around the blood vessels and under the pia throughout the neuraxis. The chemical nature and the origin of the abnormal substance are unknown and the pathogenesis of the disease is not yet understood. As is usual in the case of a new affection hitherto unobserved or unrecognized, the titles under which this affection has been reported reflect the authors' perplexity how to define precisely the disease process."

Globus, the master neuropathologist and lamented friend, I shall outline the cardinal features of the syndrome of paraplegia in flexion of cerebral origin and of the cerebral lesions with which this syndrome is usually associated. The essential features of the syndrome are a usually profound dementia and a pelvicrural flexion contracture of both lower extremities with exaggeration of flexion withdrawal of the legs in response to cutaneous and proprioceptive stimulations without sensory loss and, usually, without pyramidal tract signs. However, the syndrome is more comprehensively defined by the pattern of its evolution than by the intrinsic symptomatology of its ultimate phase."

"By malformations are meant deviations in form and structure induced during the process of development. The development is specie" specific; it tends to conform to a genetically predetermined pattern. Within this pattern the "specifications" may be infinitely modified, but they never exceed the basic plan. Old classification of malformations into those "by defect" and those "by excess" is conceptually misleading. All malformations are curtailments of the genetically predetermined developmental program. They represent simplified models of the ultimate form and structure of normal organs; hence their heuristic interest for a morphologist. In terms of formal origin, malformations of the nervous system fall into two broad categories. In one category may be included all those malformations in which tht! formal development may run through its program and more or less fulfill the specifications of the genetic plan, yet the differentiation of the tissue elements, cell types, from their respective germinal primordia or blastemas is deviant, resulting in abnormalities of the nerve cells, glia, and blood vessels. Here, the foremost abnormality being in the prixtesses of histogenesis rather than organogenesis, such malformations may be called hiatogenetic. Such are neurofibromatosis, tuberous sclerosis, and Sturge-Weber's angiomatosis; they are often familial and hereditary. Most characteristically, they show a prominent tendency to produce tumors of mixed blastomatous type or hamartomas (Albrecht, Wohlwill)."

From the Department of Neuropathology and the Warren Anatomical Museum, Harvard Medical School, Boston. "The history of Sturge-Weber's disease is an interesting example of the gradual gain of knowledge of an affection by a slow process of accretion of new data upon the already known facts. In 1860 Rudolf Schinner made what appears to be the earliest report of a case of 'port wine' facial nevus with hydrophthalmos and glaucoma in which the vascular anomaly of the skin was correlated with varicosities of the retina in the homolateral eye-ball. It was on April 18, 1879 that W. Allen Sturge presented before the Clinical Society of London a 6 1/2 year old girl who suffered from sensory motor seizures ushered in by twitchings of the left side of the body, and who had a 'port wine mark' involving the right side of the head and face, right, shoulder, and upper thorax. The ideas of Hughlings Jackson on the 'middle level' fits and the notion of localizatory significance (then still largely inferential) of the sensory motor auras were then barely a decade old and must have been exciting for the professional contemporaries. Accordingly, Sturge argued that, in his case the fits were due "to some cause external to the nerve tissue rather than to the inherent instability of gray matter, and this external cause is in all probability to be found in the presence of a 'port wine mark' on the surface of the right side of the brain just as we have found it in the skin, mucous membrane, and retina of that side". Short, of autopsy verification, Sturge's argument rested there. On November 10, 1897 Kalischer (13) presented before the Medical Society of Berlin the brain of a year old child who since the age of 6 months had seizures beginning with twitching of the right side of the mouth, gradually spreading over the entire right side of the body, and eventually involving the left side also. The child had a telangiectatic nevus involving the left side of the forehead and face to the midline. On clinical grounds Kalischer inferred also that there must be an intracranial angioma involving the lower part of the motor region in the left, hemisphere. The autopsy showed an extensive angioma racemosum involving not only the skin, but the cranial bones and soft meninges covering the left hemisphere in the region of distribution of the middle cerebral artery and overlying mainly the foot of the precentral gyrus. ."

He has shown that the susceptibility to seizures increases from cyclostomata through amphibia to mammals and that the species-specific patterns of the motility of locomotion dominate the motor and postural configurations of seizure from simple a anti gravity reactions of body and limbs in lower vertebrates to elaborate, individuated locomotility such as "running fits" and complex "psychomotor automatisms" in mammals."

Mental Retardation. - Proc. 1st. Int. Conf. Ment. Retardation. P.W. Bowman and H.V. Mautner, Eds. - Grune & Stratton, Inc., 1959, 8°, 43 pp., 18 Figs., orig. wrappers. Offprint! From the Department of Neurolgy and Warren Anatomical Museum, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Mass. Read in abstract before the First International Medical Conference on Mental Retardation, July 27, 1959, Portland, Maine. "THE ORIENTATION of one's thoughts and ideas depends to a large extent on empirical facts and generalizations derived from personal experience; mine have been derived from experience with mentally retarded individuals, many of whom I have examined also at autopsy, with particular attention to the brain. The problem of correlation of the organization of behavior with the anatomic structure and morphologic organization of the brain in the normal and in the mentally retarded individual was a natural challenge. In the attempt to meet the challenge I have had to define and set the problem of correlation in a frame of reference appropriate to a relevant answer. My candid inclination has been to define the problem empirically and to fit the facts and data into an empirical frame of reference. For only thus, I believe, could one derive from facts and data the answers which are empirically relevant. This is particularly true with regard to a subject such as that of mental retardation. Indeed, in studying the behavior of individuals whom we consider as mentally retarded, it is our own behavior which we take as the norm. The answers must be somehow relevant to that empirical norm."Yakovlev Paul Ivan Yakovlev (1894-1983) was a Russian-American neuroanatomist who worked at Harvard Medical School.
