AbstractThe authors of a large number of Norwegian detective stories, particularly from the first part of this century, are occupied with neurologists and neurobiological problems. A survey of this literature shows. One Norwegian neurologist has written four detective stories. Not one single neurologist can be found as a detective hero. On the other hand there are numerous examples of the neurologist as a criminal or even a murderer. Neurological symptoms and signs (mostly functional pareses and epileptic fits) are used to construct the plot in other novels. The most striking finding is a detective story where the criminal is a neurobiologist, the plot is based on neurobiology and the author discusses neurological phenomena throughout the entire book.
