Arch. Neurol. Psychiat., 37. - Chicago, American Medical Association, May 1937, gr.8°, 14 pp., 17 Fig., orig. wrappers. First Edition! Montreal Neurological Institute Montreal, Canada, Reprint No.84. "In published pneumographic ventricular studies the temporal or interior horn of the lateral cerebral ventricle has received scant attention and there is a persisting misconception of its shape to be found in textbooks of anatomy. The supracornual cleft and the body of this horn frequently appear as separable shadows in pneumograms, as described, and undergo typical changes in pathologic states. We are taking this opportunity also to describe a method of ventricular analysis which we have found helpful for use as a routine. In this analysis the ventricular subdivisions proposed by Torkildsen and Penfield are used. These subdivisions are made up of those portions of the lateral ventricle which appear as separable shadow outlines on an anteroposterior roentgenogram. This may be understood by reference to figure 1, in which the view with the brow up should be compared with the left lateral view (L. L. K), or by use of the Torkildsen ventricular model, on which the subdivisions are marked." Childe & Penfield Wilder Graves Penfield (1891-1976) was an American-Canadian neurosurgeon. He expanded brain surgery's methods and techniques, including mapping the functions of various regions of the brain such as the cortical homunculus. His scientific contributions on neural stimulation expand across a variety of topics including hallucinations, illusions, dissociation and déjà vu. Penfield devoted much of his thinking to mental processes, including contemplation of whether there was any scientific basis for the existence of the human soul.
