In neurology, illness is intertwined with narrative; the clues to unraveling these mysteries hidden in both the details of a patient's story and the tells of their body. Stories are etched into the very structure of our brains, so deeply coded that the impulse for storytelling survives even severe injury. In The Mind Electric, neurologist Pria Anand uses case studies, history, fables, and memoir to reveal the brain’s complexity in health and crisis, exploring the blurred lines between sanity and insanity, doctor and patient, and illness and wellness—each divided by the thin veneer of a different story.
