When Jody McAuliffe, chair of theater studies and professor of Slavic and Eurasian studies, was 20, her father died in a psychiatric ward, having suffered from dementia, hallucinations and a debilitating cocktail of other presumed neurological diseases. He first experienced these signs of mental illness following a failed surgery to correct a condition known as torticollis, which is characterized by an involuntary contraction of the neck muscles. McAuliffe’s new book “The Mythical Bill: A Neurological Memoir,” published last month, pulls from her father’s diary entries, letters, interviews and her own research to explore the history of medical treatment, as well as into McAuliffe’s own journey to understand what had happened to her father.
Duke researchers have developed a light-controlled system for controlling gene expression within living cells in a population.
