Abstract
Aleksander Luria and Oliver Sacks corresponded from 1973 to Luria’s death in 1977. Here we reproduce and analyse the initial two years of their exchange, exploring their shared views on key themes including "Romantic Science," the value of individual patient narratives, and the socio-historical context on brain development . The correspondence reveals Luria's mentorship of Sacks and his significant impact on Sacks' approach to neurological case studies.
期刊介绍：
CORTEX is an international journal devoted to the study of cognition and of the relationship between the nervous system and mental processes, particularly as these are reflected in the behaviour of patients with acquired brain lesions, normal volunteers, children with typical and atypical development, and in the activation of brain regions and systems as recorded by functional neuroimaging techniques. It was founded in 1964 by Ennio De Renzi.
