This book is the first attempt to provide a basis for the interaction
of the brain and nervous system with painting, music and
literature. The introduction deals with the problems of creativity and
which parts of the brain are involved. Then an overview of art
presents the multiple facets, such as anatomy, and the myths appearing
in ancient descriptions of conditions such as polio and migraine. The
neurological basis of painters like Goya and van Gogh is
analysed. Other chapters in the section on art cover da Vinci's
mechanics and the portrayal of epilepsy. The section on music concerns
the parts of the brain linked to perception and memory, as well as
people who cannot appreciate music, and the effect of music on
intelligence and learning (the Mozart effect). The section on
literature relates to Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky, Conan Doyle, James
Joyce and the poetry of one of England's most famous neurologists,
Henry Head.
