The brain was described grossly as normal: but microscopically there was marked superficial gliosis in all areas examined and considerable cell loss in suprastellate layers of precentral cortex. The calcarine sections show little or no cell-loss. This shows little cell-loss except in the layer of medium-sized pyramids. Always of a retiring and shy disposition.
There was little or no sclerosis visible in the secondary arterial branches and but few patches in the larger arteries. Microscopically the cortex proved to be far from normal: every area examined showed cell-loss, perhaps more markedly in the suprastellate layers than below. Mental symptoms of a pronounced character are said to have begun at 75. Death at 80.
