XIV. Degenerations consequent on experimental lesions of the cerebellum.*

Abstract

It is with much pleasure that I return my thanks to Professor Victor Horsley for placing the facilities which obtain at the Pathological Laboratory of University College, London, at my disposal for the present investigation ; and Professor Rubert Boyce for bringing his large experience of the “ Marchi method ” to my aid in the criticism of my results, as this method of tracing the degenerated nerve fibres has been exclusively employed in the present investigation. The discrepancies which exist between the results as obtained by Marchi in tracing the degenerations consequent on ablation of parts of the cerebellum, and those obtained by Ferrier and Turner after similar lesions of this organ, are sufficient reasons why I should record my experience in this connection.
