I. ADVANCES IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE ANATO-PHYSIOLOGY OF NERVOUS TISSUE IN RELATION TO THE NOSE AND EAR
This year's otologic literature is characterized by the large number of the cases reported and the high grade of the literary style employed and by the lack of new facts or ideas. It is chiefly in the domain of anatomy, physiology and neuropathology that real progress is apparent.
"NEUROBIOTAXIS (A PHYSICAL LAW IN THE STRUCTURE OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM)"1

Proximity or junction of central nerve fibers occurs in those structures the peripheral fibers of which are often stimulated at the same time, their function being thus simultaneously excited.
