Porteus Maze Changes After Psychosurgery
View through CrossRef
Owing to the use of other therapeutic measures in mental hospitals, interest in brain operations undertaken for the relief of psychotic symptoms has fallen to a minimum. Hence, opportunities for studying the mental effects of such cerebral lesions are now practically non-existent. The investigation by Aaron Smith (1960) of the residual deficits as shown by the Porteus Maze Test in cases who had suffered topectomies eight years previously, as reported in this Journal in July, 1960, may very well be the last word on the subject. The time seems opportune, therefore, to make a brief summary of the results of a test that is now considered to be the most sensitive to frontal brain damage.
