Literary notes about Neurology (AI summary)
The term "neurology" has been employed in literature in ways that extend its traditional medical implications into broader interdisciplinary arenas. For example, in early 20th-century texts, such as the work by Hoch and Amsden, neurology was examined not only as a study of brain functions but also in relation to personality and behavior, blending clinical insights with sociological inquiry [1]. Similarly, in writings that discuss the neurological impacts of wartime experiences, neurology is used to explore conditions like hysteria and reflex nervous disorders, suggesting that the discipline could illuminate the psychological and physical consequences of conflict [2].
