2. On a Method of Demonstrating the Relations of the Convolutions of the Brain to the Surface of the Head
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 September 2014
Extract
The outer surface of the skull does not correspond in shape to the outside of the brain. If it had corresponded there would have been no difficulty in determining the form of the brain from an inspection of the form of the head.
The shape of the brain does correspond to the wall of the cranial cavity. This wall is formed by the inner table of the cranial bones, which table, though separated from the brain itself by the cerebral membranes, is moulded upon the exterior of the organ.
