Extract

During an investigation of the morbid anatomy of pituitary and adrenal glands of an unselected series of mental hospital patients (1), it was noted that adrenal sudanophilic material and birefringence were reduced in many cases of schizophrenia. It was therefore decided to make a statistical study of such cases in order to determine if any significance could be attached to the findings and if so, to consider how the facts might be related to present knowledge of schizophrenia.
