“…The investigations have substantiated that the fundus is an important aetiological factor in this respect. On the other hand, resections of the pylorus had no influence upon the central nervous system (4, 13). Subsequent experiments performed by others in an attempt to reproduce the fundal resections on pigs (1, 2) seem to have been invariably negative due to certain surgical and diagnostic faults, among which was lack of microscopy of the central nervous system.…”
Abstract. The gastric fundus is the sole aetiological factor in the degenerative changes of the central nervous system which constantly follow upon total gastrectomy in pigs. The cardia and the pylorus are of no importance in this respect.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
