There is significant academic interest in the field of art and
neurological disorders. Considering how artistic expression may be
modified by alterations in neural circuits, as well as in our
bodies and everyday lives, associated with a range of disorders and
diseases is a rich territory from which to understand the workings
of our brains, the unique blend of factors leading to human art
making, and disease itself. This book will be an expose of how
different neurological disorders may influence and/or relate to the
artistic process, with a particular focus on visual art and
painting. The book will interrogate the question of different
aspects of neurological disorders and associated brain changes that
may impact artistic expression (and vice versa) and will include
devoted chapters on Parkinson's disease, Epilepsy, Mood Disorders,
Autism, and Schizophrenia. Moreover, we will elaborate on the
question from the perspective of the artist themselves, with
chapters that highlight the artistic process in the context of
lived experience (either directly or indirectly) with
disease-mediated brain changes. Finally, engagement in creative
acts has been linked to therapeutic benefits in multiple disease
processes and neuroplasticity, which is another line of inquiry
directly addressed in the book. As a whole, the volume focuses on
themes and concepts at the boundary of creativity and neuroscience
in such a way as to be relevant to both the medical and broader
(artistic) community.
