In a paper published in the year 1844, I have already called attention to the universally demonstrable pathological analogy which exists between the diseases of the brain; also, in as far as they present by preference anomalous mental symptoms, and the functional disturbances, and deeper organic lesions, of the spinal marrow. This comparison is justified not only by the facts there stated that both sections of the central nervous system are liable to the same forms of morbid action, which only show themselves very differently according to the originally given difference of their energies, but it has also its basis in the normal and pathological anatomy, which teaches us to recognise in the brain and spinal cord a single, only artificially divided, whole, and exhibits to us, in both, the same general dispositions, the same elementary tissues, and also the very same pathological changes. Presuming that the reader is acquainted with the general anatomy, the divisions of the brain and spinal cord, the structure and disposition of their membranes, we shall here premise only a few remarks upon the structure and connection of the central nervous system, which, further on, will explain certain physiopathological results, and upon the review of the healthy and morbid state of the brain.
