Fascinating insights into the relationship between brain disease and creativity
A Karger 'Publishing Highlights 1890–2015' title
The study of how a neurological disorder can change the artistic activity and behavior of creative people is a largely unexplored field.

The diseases of Gershwin, Kant, Musorgsky, Poe, Ravel, Van Gogh and many more are diagnosed in retrospect and treatment options according to modern medical technologies are discussed.
Presenting fascinating insights into the relationship between brain disease and creativity in famous minds, this publication is highly recommended to neurologists, psychiatrists, physicians as well as to everybody interested in art, music and literature.
