Cause of Death

Hi,

I've just received the death certificate for my Gt Gt Grandfather who died in 1862 aged 66. Cause of death is 'Disease of the Brain'. Does anyone have any ideas what this would encompass back in 1862?
Is there a website that explains this sort of thing?

Thanks
Gary

One of the best sites for this I have found is
http://www.paul_smith.doctors.org.uk/ArchaicMedicalTerms.htm

but I suspect that's far to general a diagnosis to be listed.
