Burrows studies showed that alterations in the cerebral circulation might be related to apoplexy. Burrows pursued the difficulties of identifying and examining circulation in the brain. Burrows correctly postulated that the cerebrospinal fluid was an important element in the contents of the cranium and that it must be in constant relation to the quantity of blood. Burrows book is one of the few original works on the subject prior to the twentieth century. Garrison/McHenry - '... milestone in the study of cerebral vascular physiology.'
