Part 1 The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales by Oliver Sacks Summary"The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales" is a collection of case studies written by neurologist Oliver Sacks. In this book, Sacks presents a series of fascinating and often poignant stories about patients with various neurological disorders. Each case sheds light on the complexities of the human brain and the profound ways in which neurological conditions can affect perception, identity, and behavior. Key Themes and Case Studies:The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat The title case features Dr. P, a music teacher who suffers from visual agnosia, which prevents him from recognizing faces and objects. He confuses his wife with a hat due to his inability to perceive visual cues correctly. This case illustrates the disconnect that can occur between perception and reality.The Lost Mariner This story centers around Jimmie G., a man who is stuck in time, believing it is 1945. Despite being in a care facility in the 1970s, he cannot retain new memories. Sacks explores themes of identity and the importance of memory in constructing the self.To See and Not See This case features a patient who has undergone a surgical procedure to restore vision but struggles to interpret visual information. It raises questions about the relationship between seeing and understanding, emphasizing that vision alone does not guarantee comprehension.The Dog Who Loved Too Much This case recounts the story of a man whose intense attachment to his dog leads to behavioral problems. It explores themes of love, dependence, and the emotional dimensions of neurological conditions.Phantoms Several patients report experiencing sensory phantom limbs after amputations. Sacks delves into the neural underpinnings behind these phenomena and discussions surrounding body image and consciousness. Overall Structure:The book is divided into several sections that group cases thematically, examining aspects like memory, perception, and personal identity. Sacks uses rich narratives to humanize the clinical experiences of his patients and invites readers to empathize with their struggles while exploring complex neurological issues. Conclusion:In "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat," Sacks not only provides insights into neurological disorders but also reflects on the broader questions of what it means to be human. The book emphasizes the delicate interplay between mind, body, and self, highlighting the unique struggles faced by individuals living with neurological conditions.Part 2 The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales AuthorOliver Sacks was a British neurologist and author known for his writings that explored the intricacies of the human brain and mental disorders. He was born on July 9, 1933, and passed away on August 30, 2015.

Today, November 8, 2024, marks Science Friday's 33rd broadcast anniversary. One of the most beloved interviewees on Science Friday over the years was the late neurologist and author Dr. Oliver Sacks, who shared his insights into neuroscience, art, and what it means to be human. Recently, Sacks' long-time collaborator Kate Edgar published a book of Dr. Sacks' letters. And earlier this fall, the New York Public Library announced its acquisition of Sacks' entire archive.In this segment, Ira revisits a 2007 conversation with Oliver Sacks about his book Musicophilia. They talk about the way music and the brain interact, why music can sometimes remain in the brain long after other memories fade, and why a person with limited language abilities might still be able to sing unimpaired.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Today we finish our discussion of Oliver Sack's book Musicophilia by covering chapters 9, 10, and 19. These cover things like perfect/absolute pitch, cochlear hearing loss, and the neurobiology of rhythm. Disclaimer: All opinions are our own and don't represent any institution we may or may not be a part of, respectively.

Today we discuss chapters 2, 3, and 8 from Oliver Sack's book Musicophilia. These chapters cover interesting neurological cases where people have seizures that cause and are caused by music, as well as people who have congenital and onset amusia, dysharmonia, and tone-deafness. Could you live in a world without music? Disclaimer: All opinions are our own and don't represent any institution we may or may not be a part of, respectively.

"Tales of Music and the Brain"

When composer Sarah Hennies learned about a neurological theory called “motor tapes” from Oliver Sacks' book Musicophilia, the concept stuck with her for years. The theory comes from neuroscientist Rodolfo Llinás, who posited that many of our thoughts, memories, and physical movements operate via a series of “looping tapes,” with the goal of reducing the amount of energy the brain uses while doing common, repetitive tasks.The concept resonated with Hennies, who is also a visiting assistant professor of music at Bard College. Most of her compositions use heavy amounts of repetition, and Llinás' theory fit with how she experienced her own memories and the evolution of her identity. Her piece “Motor Tapes” premiered in early August, performed by Ensemble Dedalus.Hennies joins guest host and musician Dessa to talk about repetition in music, how to translate neuroscience into art, and what that pairing can reveal about our bodies and the world around us.Universe of Art is hosted and produced by D. Peterschmidt, who also wrote the music. Our show art was illustrated by Abelle Hayford. Support for Science Friday's science and arts coverage comes from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Do you have an idea for a future episode of Universe of Art? Send us an email or a voice memo to universe@sciencefriday.com.

The Science Behind The Placebo EffectEarlier this month, a Food and Drug Administration panel concluded that a common decongestant ingredient used in drugs like Sudafed and NyQuil doesn't work. The panel agreed that while the ingredient, called phenylephrine, isn't dangerous, it doesn't work any better than a placebo.That made us wonder: How well do placebos work? And why do they work even when people know they're getting a placebo?Ted J. Kaptchuk, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and director of the Program in Placebo Studies and Therapeutic Encounter at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, joins guest host and musician Dessa to talk about what's new in placebo research. They discuss the benefits placebos can offer for chronic illness management, and when doctors might start using them in treatments. Where Technology Meets AbleismWith all the bad news on our feeds, a feel-good story can be a welcome reprieve. But what happens when that story comes in the form of coverage of disability technology?You might've seen the videos online of a person with a physical disability being fitted with an exoskeleton, essentially “wearing” a robot, to help them walk. Onlookers cheer in the background, dramatic music swells, and we get the sense we're watching something inspirational and empowering—a victory of the human spirit.This might seem like a triumph of scientific innovation, but our guest asks us to look again at what's actually going on in narratives like this one.Dr. Ashley Shew, associate professor at Virginia Tech, studies the intersection of disability and technology and how our collective fixation on these fancy, supposedly transformative gadgets could be doing more harm than good. In her new book, she coins the term “technoableism” to get to the heart of the matter.Guest host and musician Dessa talks with Dr. Shew about her book Against Technoableism: Rethinking Who Needs Improvement, about what disability technology is, what the future should look like, and even how disability intersects with space travel and climate change. Sour Times For Florida's CitrusFlorida is known for citrus, particularly its fresh-squeezed orange juice. But citrus trees in the state are struggling. For the last two decades, crops have been struck with a devastating disease called “citrus greening.” And Florida orange production has dropped some 94% over that period.                                              Citrus greening is caused by an invasive insect, the Asian citrus psyllid, which is threatening to wipe out the citrus industry in the state. One of the effects of the disease is a bitter, acidic fruit. Scientists are hard at work devising possible solutions to save Florida's crop.Guest host and musician Dessa talks with Dr. Yu Wang, associate professor of food science at the University of Florida's Citrus Education and Research Center, about her recent advances in making infected orange plants sweeter. Making Neuroscience Into MusicWhen composer Sarah Hennies learned about a neurological theory called “motor tapes” from Oliver Sacks' book Musicophilia, the concept stuck with her for years.

Co Ci czyni cisza? banalnie wiem banalnie będzie jak przyznam się że tęsknię za ciszą, za taką pustą, ale przytulną wielką halą w głowie, gdzie można być i nic więcej. być i nic więcej/ być i nic więcej być i nic więcej Ale kiedy wpadam do tej hali – i echo oddaje mi mój przyspieszony oddech to… czuję się nie swojo. Pragnę ciszy. I niepokoi mnie…. Cisza. Kiedyś, opuściwszy swoją codzienność - pojechałam po ciszę do Krakowa, spotkałam Roberta Kasprzyckiego, który zna się na dźwiękach prześwietnie a on mi powiedział tak: XXXX – Robert mówi w dźwięku! I proszę nie wierzyć w tę prostotę Robertowi Kasprzyckiemu. Pochodzenie z jakiejkolwiek gospodarki nie determinuje snobizmu, tak jak i słuchanie Bacha. Są badania powalające traktować to jako pracę kognitywistyczną:) W 1993 r., kiedy trzej naukowcy z University of California odkryli tzw. efekt Mozarta - czyli udowodnili, że 10-minutowy fragment sonaty tego kompozytora może przyczynić się do wzrostu umiejętności rozumowania czasoprzestrzennego. A stały kontakt z muzyką w zasadzie kształtuje nasze struktury mózgowe. Niektóre rejony w mózgu zawodowego muzyka są po prostu większe, np. spoidło wielkie, łączące obie półkule wpływające m.in. na koordynację ruchów, czy obszary w płacie skroniowym odpowiedzialnym za przetwarzanie bodźców słuchowych. A o wręcz nadprzyrodzonych możliwościach ludzi pracujących muzyką piesze pięknie w książce „Musicophilia" neurolog brytyjski Olivier Sacks. Aha – o dobrych wpływie muzyki na nasz układ krążenia też są badania. IX Symfonia Beethovena, 169 kantata Bacha oraz arie, takie jak „Nessun dorma" Pucciniego z opery „Turandot" oraz „Libiamo nei lieti calici" Verdiego z „La Traviaty", wpływają na częstotliwość oddychania, aktywność serca i ciśnienie krwi. Jeśli zgodzimy się, że dźwięk jest wibracją i że wibracja oddziałuje na każdą cząstkę naszego istnienia, wówczas zdamy sobie sprawę, że dźwięk słyszą nie tylko nasze uszy (…)mówi dr Mitchell Gaynor, dyrektor Medical Oncology and Integrative Medicine w Cornell Cancer Prevention Center w Nowym Jorku. Poza tym, taka podstawa: przecież pierwotnymi stanami i obiektami ciszy i milczenia, z których wyłania się istota muzyczna, mówiąca i milcząca, śpiewająca i tańcząca są wibracje i szumy kosmiczne i przyrodnicze, głosy i szepty ludzkie oraz ich instrumentalne spontaniczne lub skondensowane ekspresje. Więc co wybierasz. Ciszę, czy dźwięczne dźwięki?

Musicophilia

In this week's podcast, we explore some intriguing cases from the writings of famous neurologist Oliver Sacks. We show that music is a fundamental part of the human experience and we connect this with the importance of the song of Haazinu.

Uno de nuestros colaboradores más melómanos, nos habla de la relación entre música y cerebro. Y lo hace a través del libro Musicophilia del escritor y neurólogo británico Oliver Sacks, un autor que a muchos escuchantes les resultará familiar por obras como El hombre que confundió a su mujer con un sombrero  o Despertares.

Summary: Today, Holly and Devin dig into one of their favorite themes, books set in the past! They are in agreement that historical settings work well for both mysteries and romances, especially when the author does their research and works hard to make the setting vivid and accurate. Both books touched on feminist characters and themes, and have connections to the British colonial empire. Beyond that, though, the books diverge in plot but remain united as fantastic examples of historical settings done well. Topics Discussed: The Dagger (2:24): Holly discussed The Satapur Moonstone by Sujata Massey. The year is 1922 and the princely state of Satapur, India has suffered multiple tragedies that culminate in the new king being a 10 year-old boy. The dowager queen and her daughter-in-law seek the aid of Perveen Mistry, the only female lawyer in Bombay. Her key takeaways from this book were: Feminism and female empowerment are a major theme, with explorations ranging from a purdah (custom in some Muslim and Hindu societies where women sequester themselves to stay out of sight of men) to a woman going to Oxford to become a lawyer and coming back to pioneer the career in Bombay.  The vivid description of the environment and the jungle/rural area of Satapur transported Holly in an enjoyable way; Massey described the treacherous journeys back and forth from where Perveen was staying and the palace itself. If you enjoy literary mysteries and historical fiction, this series is a must-read. Massey's books combine the techniques of Agatha Christie and Louise Penny, while following a badass lawyer.  The Heart (18:46): Devin discussed Portrait for a Scotsman by Evie Dunmore. In this third book of the League of Extraordinary Women series, Dunmore explores 1880s England and Scotland with two enemies who end up in a forced marriage - Hattie Greenfield and Lucian Blackstone. Her key takeaways were: Dunmore touches on similar themes to her past novels in the series, driving home key messages on the patriarchy and the restrictive society in late 19th century England. In this novel, though, she adds an extra socialist layer by examining themes like worker's rights and socioeconomic inequality. If you ship Dramione (Draco Malfoy/Hermione Granger), this is the book for you. The romance and intimacy is explicitly and steamy, and the redemption arc for Lucian as the initial villain is juicy.  At times, Hattie comes across as just a bit too privileged and pampered to be sympathetic, whereas Lucian is the true hero of the book and the exploration into his motivations and traumas is the actual cornerstone of the book.  Hot On the Shelf (41:04): Holly: A Court of Mist and Fury Sarah J Maas Devin: Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks What's Making Our Hearts Race (47:46): Holly: Love is Blind Japan on Netflix Devin: Our Flag Means Death on HBO Max Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience. 

Dr. Justin Abbatemarco discusses Musicophilia.

What an essential read! Now, many of us crave music on a daily basis – myself included. But is that the same thing? Are we musico-philics? This book right here focuses on both music-related phenomena and neurological patients, giving us insight into a neural signature that might underlie the symptoms of musicophilia. - You can kindly find an extract from the audiobook provided below, do not hesitate to give it a listen: https://www.penguinrandomhouseaudio.com/book/159607/musicophilia/?ref=PRH28100532E1

La música es el lenguaje universal. Los pájaros cantan, también las ranas, los murciélagos, las ballenas… Nosotros también cantamos, y prueba de ello es el cantautor y guitarrista Eligio Bertrand. En este episodio conversamos con él sobre sobre la música de la vida, el proceso creativo y la musa que lo inspira a componer grandes melodías.

It’s the birthday of Oliver Sacks (1933-2015), who explored phenomena of the brain in books like “Musicophilia” and “Seeing Voices.”

Using functional MRI, researchers have observed that music activates the visual, motor, and coordination centers on both sides of the brain. Research also shows that music affects deeper brain areas involving memory and emotion—more than almost any other stimulus. Additionally, music engages less used neural connections in the brain, strengthening them to potentially restore or improve impaired/lost functions. The American Music Therapy Association (AMTA) notes that music therapists work with older adults to help with dementia, children and adults to reduce asthma episodes, hospitalized patients to reduce pain, children with autism to improve communication skills, premature infants to improve sleep patterns and increase weight, people with Parkinson's disease to improve motor function, and more. One of the most publicized music therapy cases involved Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. After a near-fatal head injury, Giffords suffered from aphasia, the inability to speak due to damage of the language pathways located on the left side of the brain. By layering words on top of melody and rhythm and with a lot of practice, new neuropathways were formed, allowing her to regain the ability to speak. Her music therapist, Meaghan Morrow, compared the process to a freeway detour, describing the brain's ability to form new roads or paths around damaged areas (a process called “neuroplasticity”) so the information can reach the same part of the brain that the damaged freeway once provided. Dr. Oliver Sacks' book Musicophilia describes the role of music therapy in managing Parkinson's disease, which spurred the book and film “Awakenings.” In his book, Dr. Sacks cites an 1871 article by neurologist Dr. John Hughlings Jackson entitled, “Singing by Speechless Children.” In previous months, we've discussed how walking backward can improve memory recall. Other research has found that trying new things or performing activities in a different way can create new pathways in the brain, which may improve brain health. So next time you drive to the store, take a different route. Tomorrow, try holding your toothbrush or your hairbrush with your other hand. Of course, continue to get regular exercise, eat a healthy diet, get plenty of sleep, avoid smoking, abstain from excessive drinking, and get regular chiropractic care to keep your mind and body in the best shape possible to give yourself the best chance of a long and happy life!

Over two years ago, :papercutz recorded a mix titled Dream Scores for Headphone Commute, which till this day is our most popular podcast on our Mixcloud page (with over 12,000 listens!). Before 2012 is over, Bruno Miguel returns for the second installment in this cinematic journey! According to neurologist Oliver Sacks, writer of the wonderful ‘Musicophilia’ and documentary ‘Musical Minds’, there is no direct meaning between melody and rhythm and a particular emotional response in our brain, besides the one we’ve been conditioned to associate it with (mostly through popular culture and our own upbringing). So in a way, we engage with music the way we were taught to but sounds can have different meanings to different listeners! With that new found knowledge in mind, why maintain the Dream tag?

Essay: *The Prophet Zephaniah and "The Great Day of the Lord"* for Sunday, 16 November 2008; book review: *Musicophilia; Tales of Music and the Brain* by Oliver Sacks (2007); film review: *Religulous* (2008); poem review: *God's Grandeur* by Gerard Manley Hopkins.

World-famous neurologist and author, Oliver Sacks, discusses his latest book, Musicophilia, a look at how music can impact on the brain. Sacks' love of music is well known, and now he turns his attention to his patients for whom music can be both treatment and affliction. He describes the power of music to move us, to heal, and to haunt us.

Oliver Sacks explores the brain's affinity for music by examining the extraordinary ways our brains adapt in response to musical aberrations. 

"The poet laureate of medicine" (New York Times) examines the complexities of our response to music and the particular powers of music to move us physically and emotionally, beneficially or destructively, showing how we humans are a musical species no less than a linguistic one.
