The International Child Neurology Association (ICNA) invites you to join our new monthly initiative entitled ‘Neurology through Art and Time’ which will be launched in Feb. 2023. We aim to review and discuss a particular subject or theme in Neurology (Medicine) as depicted through an artistic medium. We invite you to use your imagination and contribute your insights into how great Art has illuminated and paralleled the emerging concepts, the complex patterns and the thematic evolution of Medicine through the ages. One could choose a particular theme (e.g. neurodisability, muscular dystrophy, dystonia, stroke, hysteria, addiction, epilepsy, etc.) and have illustrative examples from art in multiple media. Alternatively, one could choose a single piece of art and delve into its meaning and significance in the context of a specific timepoint in history.

We are looking for works of art that highlight a seminal idea or moment in the history of Neurology. Please feel free to consider other possible compositions or scenarios. Artwork portraying the essence and creativity of Medicine and Science through paintings, sculptures, architecture, archeology, music, cinema, and poetry/prose are within our scope.

If you know someone who would be an excellent speaker on the Neurology Through Art & Time (NTAT) platform, or if you would like to nominate yourself, we would like to hear from you. Please visit https://icnapedia.org/s/ntat for more details

With sincerest gratitude & Best wishes for the New Year
