The brain is an amazing organ indeed. Here we have 7 paroxical tales of neurological disorders and creativity. How do neurological disorders relate to creativity? How do patients compensate for loss of neurologic function? How can a surgeon operate despite the outbursts of Tourette's syndrome or how can an artist paint if he loses his ability to see color? I've liked all of Dr. Sacks' books and this one is one his best.
