Extract

No problem in neurology has been approached from so many different angles as has the pathogenesis of the epileptic fit; yet it is far from being solved. Histological examination of the brains of epileptics, electric stimulalation of the human brain during operation, chemical analysis of the body fluids both in general and of the arterial and venous blood of the cerebral vessels in particular, measurements of the intracranial blood-flow, investigations into metabolic changes before, during, and after fits, electro-encephalographic studies, have produced an enormous wealth of data, which it has not, however, been possible to weld into a single theory. The most recent monograph on epilepsy—Kinnier Wilson's article on the subject in Bumke's Handbuch der Neurologie—speaks only of various “determinants” of the fit: the vascular, the humoral, etc.
