GENERAL LABORATORY DIRECTIONS 15 



Journal de Neurologie, Paris (chiefly clinical neurology). 

 Journal fur Psychologie und Neurologie, Leipzig. 

 Journal of Comparative Neurology, Philadelphia. 

 Le Nevraxe, Louvain (died in the martyrdom of Belgium). 

 Monatsschrift fur Psychiatrie und Neurologie, Berlin. 

 Neurologisches Centralblatt, Leipzig. 



The neurological literature for each year beginning with 1897 

 is listed and abstracts of the more important articles are given 

 in the Jahresbericht iiber die Leistungen und Fortschritte auf 

 dem Gebiete der Neurologie und Psychiatrie (Berlin) . Numer- 

 ous other periodical neurological bibliographies are given in the 

 Index Medicus (Washington), Index Catalogue of the Library 

 of the Surgeon General's Office (Washington), Anatomischer 

 Anzeiger (Jena), Centralblatt fur Physiologie (Leipzig), and 

 elsewhere. 



In this Outline the student's attention is directed especially 

 to those neurological facts which are well established and which 

 are of special significance for the practical understanding of the 

 working of the nervous system in health and disease. Many 

 equally interesting features are not referred to at all; and it 

 should especially be borne in mind that the topics selected are 

 for clearness presented in as schematic a way as possible. The 

 actual relations are in all cases far more complex, and many of 

 these details are as yet imperfectly understood. The student 

 is urged to read, as far as time permits, the larger manuals of 

 neurology and the special articles in the research journals in 

 order to get the simpler and more elementary features of the 

 laboratory study in their proper perspective. This reading 

 should be done topically. As each section of the Outline is 

 studied in the laboratory, the topic there under consideration 

 should be read up as completely as possible from both the 

 anatomical and the physiological standpoints. After some 

 practice in this sort of topical reading, with the aid of the in- 

 dexes of the works consulted, a large number of books can be 

 abstracted for each topic with small expenditure of time.
