In a series of stories before, after, and even during neurosurgery, an epileptic patient, Neil his surgeon, George Ojemann and neuroscientist William Calvin work together to remove a portion of Neil's temporal lobe. If they do it right, they will have a good chance of putting an end to Neil's seizures.

In the context of this unique surgical drama, Conversations with Neil's Brain unfolds as an intensely compelling read.…
