As an addition to the European postgraduate training system for young neurosurgeons we began to publish in 1974 this series of Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery which was later sponsored by the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies. This series was first discussed in 1972 at a combined meeting of the Italian and German Neurosurgical Societies in Taormina, the founding fathers of the series being Jean Brihaye, Bernard Pertuiset, Fritz Loew and Hugo Krayenbiihl. Thus were established the principles of European co operation which have been born from the European spirit, flourished in the European Association, and have throughout been associated with this serIes. The fact that the English language is well on the way to becoming the international medium at European scientific conferences is a great asset in terms of mutual understanding. Therefore we have decided to publish all contributions in English, regardless of the native language of the authors. All contributions are submitted to the entire editorial board before publication of any volume. Our series is not intended to compete with the publications of original scientific papers in other neurosurgical journals. Our intention is, rather, to present fields of neurosurgery and related areas in which important recent advances have been made. The contributions are written by spe cialists in the given fields and constitute the first part of each volume.

Research in the morphology-angioarchitecture and ultrastructure-of cerebral veins has been widely neglected in past decades; investigation was mainly focussed on the arterial side of brain circulation. This circumstance has certainly had a negative impact on the development of knowledge in clinical medicine about cerebral venous disease. Cerebra} venous pathology and its consequence is, however, a frequent problern in clinical neurosur gery, both with regard to operative techniques and conservative manage ment. Therefore, it is not surprising that the initiative to collect, for the first time, data on our present knowledge in basic research of cerebral veins, their structure and function under normal and pathological circumstances, came from clinicians. Regarding the cerebral veins the clinician has primarily in view the dysfunctions originating from embryogenetic malformations, phlebitic obstruction, tumourous shunts, or traumatic lesions. But in addition to that, particular attention should be paid to the microstructure ofthe venous vessel walls, their barrier function, and the venous vasomotor system. Studying these interrelationships has for a long time been both fascinating and of immediate interest to me."

A multidisciplinary overview of techniques for monitoring acute head trauma patients is given in this book. It includes neuroimaging procedures (TCD, MRI, SPECT) and multiple neurophysiological approaches: EEG, videomonitoring and integrated computer systems with clinical applications. Results that have been obtained by using new drugs to protect the brain as well as progress made in recovering techniques are emphasized. The long-term consequences of acute lesions are also discussed. The relationship between acute and long-term seizures is studied in posttraumatic epilepsy cases, and the relationship between neurophysiological and long-term clinical patterns, especially in posttraumatic epilepsy, is discussed. The socio-economic costs of traffic accidents are analysed - based on data from epidemiological studies - and then compared with reported data.

There are two important reasons for publishing this new series entitled "Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery" 1. the lack of any or ganized common European postgraduate training system for young neurosurgeons and 2. the language barriers, which impede the exchange of neurosurgical findings in Europe more than in other parts of the world. The fact that the English language is well on the way to becoming the international medium at European scientific conferences is a great asset in terms of mutual understanding.

The human personality is inextricably bound up with, among other things, the function of the central nervous system. Diseases and malfunctions of the brain, head injuries and neurosurgical operations can all result in permanently altered behaviour patterns. This interrelation between brain and behaviour is most clearly demonstrated in cases involving functional neurosurgery and severe traumatic lesions. Despite the fact that this interrelation represents an everyday challenge to the neurosurgeon, it is a question which receives less attention than it deserves in neurosurgical meetings. Given the scope and complexity of this topic, it is not possible to cover every aspect of it here: hence, discussion is limited to the impact on personality of injuries, language, epilepsy and psychosurgery. However, before considering the medical aspects, it was deemed necessary to try and arrive at a definition of "personality." This question was discussed by a number of philosophers representing various perspectives. Their diversity of viewpoints and conceptions greatly enriched the discussions.

Dieses Erganzungswerk verdankt sein Entst.ehen mehrseitigen An regungen, die groBen Fortschritte der chemisch-technischen Unter suchungsmethoden, die in den letzten Jahren ausgearbeitet worden sind, den Benutzern des Hauptwerkes leicht zuganglich zu machen. Die Ver wirklichung dieses Vorhabens hat es mpglich gemacht, auch neuartige wertvoIle Untersuchungsmethoden zu behandeln, die bisher noch keine oder eine unzulangliche Beriicksichtigung gefunden hatten. Bei dem vorliegenden Band sind es die Methoden der Polarographie, Chromatographie, Fluorescenzanal yse, die in wenigen J ahren so weit ausgestaltet worden sind, daB sie ihre groBe Bedeutung und den wesentlichen Fortschritt auf analytischem Gebiet dargetan und in der chemischen Technik bereits Eingang gefunden haben. Sie sind sicher berufen, auch hier das analytische Arbeiten zu erweitern und bequemer zu gestalten. Von den Erganzungsbeitragen zu den Abschnitten des Hauptwerkes sind einige kurz, einige recht urnfangreich ausgefallen. Keine Er ganzungen sind in diesem Band fUr die Abschnitte Allgemeine Operationen, Zug- und Druckmessungen, Araometrie und Gasvolurnetrie, Rontgenographische Unt.ersuchungsmethoden, Organische Analysen erforderlich gewesen. Die Riickverweisung auf die zugehorigen Abschnitte des Haupt werkes sind, wo nur angangig, mit kurzer Angabe der Bandnummer und der Seitenzahl (z. B. III, 427) geschehen, urn die Benutzung des Gesamt werkes moglichst be quem zu gestalten. Aus diesem Grund wird auch dem 3.

39 c. Realisierung der Abbildung durch Kugelf1achen. Von W. MERT: E, Jena. Einleitung. Die allgcmeincn Theoricn, die in den vorhcrgehcnden Abschnitten betrachtet wurden, sind wesentlich gefordert worden durch den Bau der optischen Werk zeuge, denn einmal sind diese wichtige Einrichtungen zur Priifung jener Theorien, in erster Linie aber war die Entwicklung der theoretischen Kenntnisse notwendig, urn die fortschrcitende Vervollkommnung der mannigfaltigen optischen Instru mente iiberhaupt erst herbeizuflihren. Waren es vorher einzelne hervorragende Gc1ehrte wie GAUSS, SEIDEL usw., die rechnend die beim Bau optischer Anord nungen auftretenden Probleme zu meistern suchten, so werden in dem letzten Entwicklungsabschnitt des optischen Werkzeugbaues, zu dem auch unsere Zeit zu zahlen ist, besonders durch die glanzenden rechnerischen Erfolge ABBES angeregt, iiberall in der Welt, wo optische Instrumente gefertigt werden, rech nerische Untersuchungen zur Grundlage der Herstellung von Fcrnrohren, Mikro skopen, Brillen, photographischen Objektiven usw. angestellt. Die Zeiten, wo man nur durch empirisches Tatonnement beste optische Leistung zu erzielen strebte, sind endgiiltig vorbei. Allerdings ist auch heute noch die nachtragliche Dberpriifung des theoretisch erwarteten Erfolges durchaus notwendig und mit unter das Ergebnis nicht ganz jener Erwartung entsprechend, da es meist in der Natur des zu losenden Problems liegt, mit unseren heutigen rechnerischen Hilfsmitteln nicht samtliche notwendigen und hinreichenden Bedingungen flir die gewiinschte Giite der Abbildung finden zu konnen. Die einzelnen Abbildungsfehler, wie spharische Aberrationen, Koma usw., sind moglichst auf solche Werte herabzudriicken, daB sie fiir die zu fordernde optische Leistung nicht storend werden."
