The Symptom Complex of Aphasia

A Psychological Study on an Anatomical Basis

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science ((BSPS,volume 4))

Abstract

Meynert’s theory of the connections of the brain contains the foundations of a precise physiology of the central nervous system. It provides only a broad, general outline, to be sure, but one of such brilliant inner truth that it can even now be applied without hesitation to individual cases.

Ed. note: At the time of writing this study Carl Wernicke was Assistant Physician, in the Psychiatric Service of the Allerheiligen Hospital at Breslau. The study was first published by Max Cohn and Weigert, 1874.
