Oliver Sacks wrote about neurological and psychiatric conditions that few people understand and many stigmatize. Of course, he spoke for himself as well. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
Oliver Sacks Put Himself Into His Case Studies. What Was the Cost?
The scientist was famous for linking healing with storytelling. Sometimes that meant reshaping patients’ reality.

The sodium-potassium pump is a protein in the neuron's membrane that uses ATP to move three sodium ions out and two potassium ions into the cell, thereby restoring the resting potential necessary for nerve impulses.
