Created on request by Bing Image Creator

 
In an interview from 2007, presenter Ira Flatow talks about the brain with the late Oliver Sacks, neurologist and author of Migraine and The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat. The latter is a fascinating anthology of case studies of people with various neurological conditions, worth reading. The book is presented as a collection of 24 essays, dealing with loss of brain function and heightened abilities or skills in patients with autism or having prior exposure to drugs.
