Did Thomas Mann show any special interest in neurology? Are neurological diseases described in the Bible? What were the medical problems of St Paul? Did Roald Dahl construct equipment for neurosurgery? Do we know deadly diseases that do not exist? Could the fate of Charles XII of Sweden be explained by brain dysfunction? These questions and many more are dealt with by the members ofThe Norwegian Neuro-Literary Club. The book tries to show howneurological diseases influence creative artists and how the same artists use their experience with diseases of the nervous system intheir creative work. Examples are given as to how neurological dysfunctions have influenced world history, and the authors report onpeculiar incidences in the history of neurology.
