Abstract
Most of us know Roald Dahl’s Childrens works but few of us are familiar with his fascination with medicine and in particular neuroscience. During Dahl’s adult life his family suffered some terrible medical tragedies, and it was the medical interactions during these times that influenced some of his most famous writing from explosive potions in George’s Marvellous Medicine to Gobblefunk, the language created by Dahl for the BFG.
