Mavericks, miracles & medicine : the brain
(DVD)

Hosted by Noah Wyle.

Our current case shadows severe epileptic Jim Carella, who undergoes surgery to implant a pacemaker for his brain. Historical stories include: the scientist who proved that epilepsy was not caused by demonic possession (15th century); the scientist who discerned localization of brain function (18th century); the accident that led to the x-ray (19th century); the first doctor to map localization of brain function (19th century); and the first implanted electrical pacemaker (20th century).
