A brief review of the literature on nervous and mental illnesses in connection with the war

Dejerine and Mouzon (Revue neurolog. 1915. No. 17-18), when examining two patients with wounds to the skull in the area of ​​the sensitive zone of the cerebral cortex, note the special nature of the disorders observed at the same time. Therefore, it is possible to identify a sensitive cortical syndrome, which is characterized by almost complete preservation of tactile sensitivity, normal thermal and pain, with a significant change in the stereognostic feeling, the position of parts of the body. From changes in sensitivity with a disease of a visual hillock, the syndrome under consideration is distinguished by a partial disorder of sensitivity, while for diseases of a visual hillock, a change in all types of sensitivity is characteristic.
