ONLINE: In this series of lectures, we review several of the major works of the late Oliver Sacks, whom The New York Times dubbed the poet laureate of contemporary medicine. The books of this well-known neurologist covered in this course are "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat," "Awakenings," "Migraine," "Hallucinations," "Musicophilia," "The River of Consciousness" and "An Anthropologist on Mars." In these works, Sacks discusses both common and rare neurological issues emphasizing their impact on us as human beings. The lectures will explain some of the neurological obscurities that Sacks presents to show the audience how relevant and timely his observations have been. Sacks' works will be supplemented with examples from the instructor's own 40-year neurology practice and from the neurology literature. | Lecture + Q&A.
