Chapter LXXXIV: Conclusion: While an attempt has been made here to consider vaso-motor (1)

Text size

and trophic neuroses separately, it must be admitted that in very many conditions the two are coincident. This follows inevitably from what has been stated regarding the localization of the vaso-motor and trophic centres in the spinal cord, and regarding the course of the vaso-motor and trophic nerves from the spinal centres to the periphery. These two classes of centres and nerves lie side by side in the central and peripheral organs, and it is less surprising that they should be jointly affected than that one should ever be involved alone. In any case of lesion of the peripheral nerves or of the central nervous system they may be expected. In all cases they are to be regarded as symptoms of such lesions rather than as distinct diseases.
