This well-established international series examines major areas of
basic and clinical research within neuroscience, as well as
emerging and promising subfields. This volume on the neurosciences,
neurology, and literature vividly shows how science and the
humanities can come together --- and have come together in the
past. Its sections provide a new, broad look at these interactions,
which have received surprisingly little attention in the past.
Experts in the field cover literature as a window to neurological
and scientific zeitgeists, theories of brain and mind in
literature, famous authors and their suspected neurological
disorders, and how neurological disorders and treatments have been
described in literature. In addition, a myriad of other topics are
covered, including some on famous authors whose important
connections to the neurosciences have been overlooked (e.g., Roget,
of Thesaurus fame), famous neuroscientists who should also be
associated with literature, and some overlooked scientific and
medical men who helped others produce great literary works (e, g.,
Bram Stoker's "Dracula"). There has not been a volume with this
coverage in the past, and the connections it provides should prove
fascinating to individuals in science, medicine, history,
literature, and various other disciplines.
This book looks at literature, medicine, and the brain sciences
both historically and in the light of the newest scholarly
discoveries and insights.
