- Summary:
- Since the 1990s, the English-speaking world has seen the rise of a neuroculture derived from neurology and neuroscience. 'The Neurologists' asks how we arrived at this moment. What is it about neurology and neuroscience that makes neuroculture seem self-evident? To tell this story 'The Neurologists' charts a chronological course from the time of the French Revolution to after the 'Decade of the Brain' that outlines the rise of medical and scientific neurology and the emergence of neuroculture.
