Conditions and diseases such as temporal lobe epilepsy, hypergraphia, mirror writing, brain tumour, parkinsonism, syphilis, schizophrenia and obsessive compulsive disorder. The Exceptional Brain and How It Changed the World is fascinating reading for anyone who has ever wondered how our brains tick.
