Extract

Leucotomy studies are now commonplace and this preliminary report on the clinical aspects of our series has probably little to add to existing ideas on the subject. Neither the case material nor our initial approach to the problem differ fundamentally from the observations expressed by various workers at a meeting held at the Royal Society of Medicine on 9 April, 1946.
