The fibres connecting cortex and thalamus run through this fusion. They form two groups: one group of fibres comes from the distally situated parts of the cortex and is connected with proximally situated parts of the thalamus. Another group springs from the more proximally situated parts of the cortex and goes at practically the same level in a left and a right bundle towards the thalamus. Both groups cross each other sagittally, so that the distal fibres end in the thalamus proximally to the other cortex fibres. There is also a crossing of fibres from the right and left hemispheres. This also applies to the corticothalamic fibres. These also cross in the median line. In the spinal cord there are no great deviations except the absence of the pyramidal tracts.

There is also a similarity between the fatal accidents and those in which only a part of the body is destroyed. We may be able to see precisely how the accident serves to punish the individual for guilty acts or wishes. In those cases which are not fatal, however, this punishment serves not only as the price of atonement but as a permission for further indulgences in the same guilty acts or phantasies. The guilty act stimulates the conscience to demand of the ego a price. In some instances this price is a (selfinflicted) death penalty. In other instances, however, it seems to be less severe. One may note the principle of periodic payment for the continued indulgence in forbiddden erotic or aggressive tendencies in many neurotic patients, and melancholia is often forestalled or deferred by various obsessive and compulsive techniques. There are certain individuals who seem to fall victim to successive disasters with an uncanny regularity. C. S. R. [14] Pituitary disturbances in behaviour problems.-MATTHEW MOLITcH and S. POLIAKOFF. Amer. Jour. Orthopsychiat., 1936, 6, 125. NINETY-SEVEN boys with pituitary dysfunction in a State Home were studied and are reported from the standpoint of diagnosis, mental level, school achievement, behaviour, personality, and treatment. Those with such dysfunction were found to be brighter than the control group but the school attendance and achievement were the same in both. They were found, too, to be unstable, immature and suggestible. More personality deviations were found than in the controls. Within the Institution the 'pituitary' boys were found to be above average in school progress but below in conduct and adjustment. The offences causing commitment to the Home consisted essentially of stealing and truancy. Positive correlations were found between height and mental level. Five boys with hypopituitary dysfunction were treated with growth hormone with subsequent increase in height and improvement in secondary sexual development. C. S. R. [15] Mental changes following head trauma in children.-ABRAM BLAIU. Arch. Neurol. and Psychiat., 1936, 35, 723. THE cases of 22 children showing mental changes following head injury arc reported. The conditions are classified and designated as posttraumafic acute psychosis, chronic behaviour disorder, epilepsy with secondary deterioration, and defect conditions and secondary intellectual deterioration. The acute psychosis was observed in six children.

Detailed observation shows however that the incidence of neurological complications is probably higher than is suggested by casual inspection. Ginsburg found clinical evidence of involvement of the brain or spinal cord in ten of 36 cases of Hodgkin's disease. On the other hand, Forrest found that during 20 years at the London Hospital only four cases had shown evidence of involvement of the spinal cord. In one of these cases autopsy revealed syringomyelic cavitation. In a review of 37 cases of Hodgkin's disease with involvement of the central nervous system Johnsson found the brain involved in eight and the spinal cord in 29 cases. Weil, summarizing 46 cases of involvement of the spinal cord in Hodgkin's disease, found dorsal segments affected in 80 per cent., cervical segments in 16 per cent., and lumbosacral segments in 4 per cent.

This, however, does not seem to involve an innate disposition; rather, it would appear that the tendency can be accounted for on the basis of conditioning. Solitude is not the goal of genius but its refuge. Aloofness is frequently the result of a shrinking from the deteriorating standards of society. The genius is not only constantly forced into solitary retreat, but he sometimes seeks seclusion voluntarily and deliberately because as he associates with mankind he senses the advantages to be gained from insulating himself from the masses. In some instances contempt for society among men of geinius may be the result of an attempt to compensate for a feeling of social inferiority. C. S.

{"title":"On Some Constitutional Aspects of Chorea and on Its Sequelæ.","authors":"E Guttmann","doi":"10.1136/jnnp.s1-17.65.16","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1136/jnnp.s1-17.65.16","url":null,"abstract":"IF one sees many cases of chorea and investigates them in detail, one cannot help thinking that constitution plays a part of some importance in its setiology. In textbooks one finds remarks to the effect that the patients had already exhibited neurotic traits before the onset of the disease. Furthermore, among relatives cases of chorea and other mental and nervous diseases and abnormal personalities are observed with some frequency, as far as a general impression goes. Kehrer has proposed to name the abnormal types in choreic families 'choreopathic personalities.' In doing so he took as his starting point Huntington families, but he expressly extended his idea to families with Sydenham's chorea. The definition of the choreopathic personality is not exact as yet, on either physical or psychical side, nor do we know whether the postchoreic personality which will be discussed later on is identical with the choreopathic personality or even similar to it. It may be mentioned that the schizoid personality has been conceived along similar lines, viz. as a premorbid personality, as postschizophrenic defect and as a constitutional anomaly in schizophrenic families. There is moreover some constitutional relationship between chorea and schizophrenia. Looking through the families of some choreic patients I found some frequency of catatonic psychoses among their relatives. B. Schulz has confirmed these observations in material which was relatively small but elaborated on strict genetic lines. He found that the proportion of schizophrenics in the families of choreic patients is nearly twice as high as in the average population. Krauss also found in the families of 24 cases of chorea eight certain and three doubtful cases of schizophrenia. This author was the first to investigate systematically the postchoreic personality, earlier writers having been interested only in the neurological sequelae of this disease, and that to a limited degree. Looking through the textbooks of neurology with regard to the prognosis of chorea one generally finds it stated that only a small proportion of the patients die, and that death in these cases is due to endocarditis or heart failure, the prognosis of severe cases generally depending on the","PeriodicalId":50117,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neurology and Psychopathology","volume":"17 65","pages":"16-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1936-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1136/jnnp.s1-17.65.16","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40108376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
