Neil is an epileptic undergoing surgery which necessitates mapping his brain, and his case is used as a vehicle to explain the workings of the brain to a general audience. Calvin is a neurophysiologist and Ojemann a neurosurgeon; but neither is a great writer, and the information, though inherently fascinating, is bogged down in fictional conversations and "novelistic" narrative.
