WEIGHT RATIO BETWEEN THE INFRATENTORIAL AND SUPRATENTORIAL PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

摘要

The ratio infratentorial weight X 100/total brain weight is easily calculated and is significant in evaluating both development and disease of the central nervous system, particularly cerebral cortical atrophy. This determination can also be of value in the study of other diseases. The study shows that rcinoma may cause loss of cerebral tissue by unknown remote factors.
