The modelwas reconstructed from serial sections of the brainstem of a new-born babe, stained by the method ofWeigert-Pal. Since at this age a considerable numberof important fiber tracts (such, for instance, as thepyramidal tracts) are unmedullated, these are neces-sarily omitted from the model. This has the advan-tage^ however, of bringing out the parts which are mod-eled in somewhat clearer relief, an advantage which is. Fig. 919.—Transverse
