Extract

The older writers on Insanity including Pinel, and Esquirol, believed that functional disturbances of the higher nervous centres were the chief factors in producing mental disease. Whether this is the case or not, and whether functional disease of the brain may exist without appreciable change of structure, there can be no question that the quantity and quality of the blood circulating through the higher nervous centres affect their functions in an important manner.
