The significance of art in human existence has long been a source
of puzzlement, fascination, and mystery. In Neuropsychology of Art,
Dahlia W. Zaidel explores the brain regions and neuronal systems
that support artistic creativity, talent, and appreciation. Both
the visual and musical arts are discussed against a neurological
background. Evidence from the latest relevant brain research is
presented and critically examined in an attempt to clarify the
brain-art relationship, language processing and visuo-spatial
perception. The consequences of perceptual problems in famous
artists, along with data from autistic savants and established
artists with brain damage as a result of unilateral stroke,
dementia, or other neurological conditions, are brought into
consideration and the effects of damage to specific regions of the
brain explored. A major compilation of rare cases of artists with
brain damage is provided and the cognitive abilities required for
the neuropsychology of art reviewed. This book draws on
interdisciplinary principles from the biology of art, brain
evolution, anthropology, and the cinema through to the question of
beauty, language, perception, and hemispheric specialization. It
will be of interest to advanced students in neuro-psychology,
neuroscience and neurology, to clinicians and all researchers and
scholars interested in the workings of the human brain.
