Extract

In view of the importance of prenatal pathology at the present time, a useful purpose may be served by attempting to review the peculiar weaknesses and strengths of the developing nervous system. As a result of personal inclinations, this presentation of the various problems involved will have a structural bias; the subject would, no doubt, be approached very differently by a physiologist, for instance, or by a biochemist. Nevertheless we should all be describing different aspects of the same series of phenomena, aiming at an understanding of the events which must occur before the central nervous system can function.
