Its modifications in the course of growth obviously includethe first sort—alterations of its spatial relations,—as is shownroughly in Figures 20 and 21. So also do the modificationsproduced in it by certain diseases. What modifications areproduced in a neurone by its own ordinary activities are mat-ters largely for hypothesis.
