Extract

This paper is based upon an investigation that I carried out some years ago into the intellectual changes that resulted in a group of 71 men following wounds of the brain (Jarvie, 1954). These men had been wounded, by high-velocity missiles, during the late War or in the Korean Campaign, and damage to most areas of the brain were represented in the series; the wounds showed all degrees of severity from small areas of cortical contusion up to extensive destruction within the hemispheres.
