It should be informative and educational to deconstruct neurologic representation in film. \u003cstrong\u003eNeurocinema: When Film Meets Neurology\u003c\/strong\u003e is a collection of film essays that summarize the portrayal of major neurologic syndromes and clinical signs in cinema. Many films approach the reality of disease quite closely, and as a result, are deeply moving and memorable. Equally important, these films say as much about consequences as they say about the disorder. Therefore, the main themes include sudden confrontation with a major neurologic illness, disability from chronic neurologic disease, and failure to lead a normal life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore than 100 fiction films and documentaries are discussed in this completely original and definitive work on how film meets neurology. The book includes nearly 50 neurology topics, explains them, and places them in a broader context. The book is accessible for all health care workers and general readership.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEelco Wijdicks\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professor of neurology at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine.
