The post mortem examination of Laura Bridgman shows a brain in which the
olfactory bulbs and nerves, the optic nerves, the auditory nerves, and
possibly the glossopharyngeal, had all been more or less destroyed at
their peripheral ends. This destruction caused a degeneration—most marked
in the optic nerves—which extended towards the centres and involved them
indirectly.... This case represents a maximum loss in these defective
senses with a minimum amount of central disturbance, thus offering the
very best sort of opportunity for education by way of the surviving
senses.... Mental association was for Laura Bridgman limited to various
phases of the dermal sensations and the minor and imperfect senses of
taste and smell.... The motor centre there had lost some, but not all its
associative connections. (Clark University, Worcester, Mass.)
