The fundamental studies of Spielmeyer¹ led to the identification of various types of neuronal changes and the subsequent stand-ardization and development of neuropathologic research. From the vast material examined, Spielmeyer and his colleagues formulated a concept of a vascular origin for many of the cerebral lesions and, over the years, only slight modifications to the original concept have been advanced. I shall here merely mention that while most investigators have agreed that the "ischemic neuronal disease" of Spielmeyer represents an irreversible pathologic process, Camerer² pointed out the similarity of such changes to a postmortem autolytic process, and Lindenberg³ advocated the combination of an intravital and a postmortem cell reaction.

In systematic studies of human neuropathologic material from a general hospital, lesions attributable to circulatory disturbances are commonly found. Further analysis of such material will often indicate that the cerebral blood flow has been impaired . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
