The problem of the anatomy of schizophrenia
Abstracts. Neuropathology and Psychiatry. Spielmeyer W. (The journal of Nervous and Mental Disease voL 72, No. 3, September 1930) briefly discusses the problem of the anatomy of schizophrenia. Anatomical changes in the brain in typical cases of schizophrenia consist in the disappearance of cells in the third layer of the cortex and in its deeper layers, sometimes with an extreme accumulation of fat. In the acute stages, there are destructive phenomena of the nervous tissue with progressive and regressive changes in glia and often abundant decay products.
