Foreword
The International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI) was established in 1978 to stimulate and support scientific research and educational programs related to nutrition, toxicology, and food safety, and to encourage cooperation in these programs among scientists in universities, industry, and government agencies to assist in the resolution of health and safety issues. To supplement and enhance these efforts, ILSI has made a major commitment to supporting programs to harmonize toxicological testing, to advance a more uniform interpretation of bioassay results worldwide, to promote a common understanding of lesion classifications, and to encourage wide discussion of these topics among scientists. The Monographs on the Pathology of Laboratory Animals are designed to facilitate communication among those involved in the safety testing of foods, drugs, and chemicals. The complete set will cover all organ systems and is intended for use by pathologists, toxicologists, and others concerned with evaluating toxicity and carcinogenicity studies. The international nature of the project - as reflected in the composition of the editorial board and the diversity of the authors and editors - strengthens our expectations that understanding and cooperation will be improved worldwide through the series.

Preface
This book, on the nervous system, is the sixth volume of a set prepared under the sponsorship of the International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI). One aim of this set on the Pathology of Laboratory Animals is to provide information which will be useful to pathologists, especially those involved in studies on the safety of foods, drugs, chemicals, and other substances in the environment. It is expected that this and future volumes will contribute to better communication, on an international basis, among people in government, industry, and academia who are involved in protection of the public health. The arrangement of this volume is based, in part, upon the philosophy that the first step toward understanding a pathologic lesion is its precise and unambiguous identification. The microscopic and ultrastructural features of a lesion that are particularly useful to the pathologist for definitive diagnosis, therefore, are considered foremost. Diagnostic terms preferred by the author and editors are used as the subject heading for each pathologic lesion. Synonyms are listed, although most are not preferred and some may have been used erroneously in prior publications. The problems arising in the differential diagnosis of similar lesions are considered in detail. The biologic significance of each pathologic lesion is considered under such headings as etiology, natural history, pathogenesis, and frequency of occurrence under natural or experimental conditions. Comparison of information available on similar lesions in man and other species is valuable as a means to gain broader understanding of the processes involved. Knowledge of this nature is needed to form a scientific basis for safety evaluations and experimental pathology. References to pertinent literature are provided in close juxtaposition to the text in order to support conclusions in the text and lead toward additional information. Illustrations are an especially important means of nonverbal communication, especially among pathologists, and therefore constitute important features of each volume. The subject under each heading is covered in concise terms and is expected to stand alone, but in some instances it is important to refer to other parts of the volume. A comprehensive index is provided to enhance the use of each volume as a reference. Some omissions are inevitable and we solicit comments from our colleagues to identify parts which need strengthening or correcting. We have endeavored to include important lesions which a pathologist might encounter in studies involving the rat, mouse, or hamster. Newly recognized lesions or better understanding of old ones may make revised editions necessary in the future. The editors wish to express our deep gratitude to all of the individuals who have helped with this enterprise. We are indebted to each author and member of the Editorial Board whose names appear elsewhere in the volume. We are especially grateful to the Officers and Board of Trustees of the International Life Sciences Institute for their support and understanding. Several people have worked directly on important details in this venture. These include Mrs. Nina Murray,
