ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Oliver Sacks - Neurological anthropologist
Since "Awakenings" stormed the bestseller lists (and the silver screen), Oliver Sacks has become an unlikely household name, single-handedly inventing the genre of neurological anthropology.

Why you should listen

Oliver Sacks was a ground-breaking neurologist -- and a gifted storyteller who enriched our knowledge of the infinite variations of human psychology. After his pioneering work with “sleepy sickness” patients (who were in fact survivors of an early-20th-century pandemic), Sacks went on to study the connections between music and the brain, as well as disorders such as Tourette's syndrome, Parkinson's disease, and many other little-understood disorders that often count Sacks as one of their first chroniclers.

Sacks was well known as a writer of such best-selling case histories as HallucinationsThe Man Who Mistook His Wife for a HatAn Anthropologist on Mars, and his memoir of his early work, Awakenings, all of which have breathed new life into the dusty 19th-century tradition of the clinical anecdote. Sacks' writing, compassion and wide-ranging knowledge catapults the genre into the 21st century and brings the far frontiers of neurological experience into the view of millions of readers worldwide. Sacks died at age 82 in August 2015.

52
165000
4000
Pitao sam, "Da li je to slično snu?"
03:01
And she said, "No, it's not like a dreamsan. It's like a moviefilm."
53

03:57
And she didn't know what was going on.

2000
I nije znala što se događa.
03:59
She wonderedpitala if she was going madlud

04:03
Well, I examinedpregledan her carefullypažljivo.
76
231000
2000
Dakle, pažljivo sam je pregledao.
04:05
She was a brightsvijetao oldstar ladydama,
77
233000
2000
Bila je bistra starica.

She wasn'tnije on any medicationslijekovi whichkoji could produceproizvoditi hallucinationshalucinacije.
79
239000
4000
Nije uzimala nikakve lijekove koji mogu stvoriti halucinacije.
04:15
But she was blindslijep.
80
243000
2000
Ali bila je slijepa.
04:17
And I then said to her,
81
245000
2000
I tada sam joj rekao,
04:19
"I think I know what you have."
82
247000
2000
"Mislim da znam što imate."
04:21
I said, "There is a specialposeban formoblik of visualvidni hallucinationhalucinacija

4000
Rekao sam, "Postoji posebna vrsta vidnih halucinacija

84
253000
4000
koja može ići uz pogoršavanjem vida, ili slijepoću."
04:29
This was originallyizvorno describedopisan," I said,
85
257000
3000
"Ovo je prvi opisao," rekao sam,
04:32
"right back in the 18thth centurystoljeće,
86
260000
2000
"još u 18.stoljeću,
04:34
by a man calledzvao CharlesCharles BonnetPoklopac motora.
87
262000
3000
čovjek koji se zvao Charles Bonnet.
04:37
And you have CharlesCharles BonnetPoklopac motora syndromesindrom.
88
265000
3000
I vi imate sindrom Charlesa Bonneta.

3000
Vi imate sindrom Charlesa Bonneta."
04:45
And she was very relievedlaknulo at this,
91
273000
3000
I bilo joj je laknulo,
04:48
that there was nothing seriouslyozbiljno the matterstvar,

276000
4000
da nije ništa ozbiljno,
04:52
and alsotakođer ratherradije curiousznatiželjan.
93
280000
3000
ali je također bila znatiželjna.
04:55
She said, "Who is this CharlesCharles BonnetPoklopac motora?"
94
283000
2000
Pitala je, "Tko je taj Charles Bonnet?"
04:57
She said, "Did he have them himselfsam?"
95
285000
3000
Pitala je, "Da li je i on sam to imao?"
05:00
And she said, "Tell all the nursesmedicinske sestre
96
288000
3000
I rekla je, "Recite svim sestrama
05:03
that I have CharlesCharles BonnetPoklopac motora syndromesindrom."
97
291000
3000
da ja imam sindrom Charlesa Bonneta."

"I'm not crazylud. I'm not dementedlud. I have CharlesCharles BonnetPoklopac motora syndromesindrom."
99
296000
4000
"Nisam luda. Nisam dementna. Imam sindrom Charlesa Bonneta."
05:12
Well, so I did tell the nursesmedicinske sestre.
100
300000
2000
Tako sam i rekao sestrama.
05:14
Now this, for me, is a commonzajednička situationsituacija.
101
302000
3000
Ovo je za mene uobičajena situacija.
05:17
I work in old-agestarosti homeskuća, largelyu velikoj mjeri.
102
305000
2000
Većinom radim u starčkim domovima.
05:19
I see a lot of elderlypostariji people
103
307000
2000
Vidim puno starijih ljudi
05:21
who are hearingsluh impairedrasparen or visuallyvizuelno impairedrasparen.
104
309000
4000
koji slabo čuju ili slabo vide.
05:25
About 10 percentposto of the hearingsluh impairedrasparen people
105
313000
2000
Oko 10 posto onih s oštećenim sluhom
05:27
get musicalmjuzikl hallucinationshalucinacije.
106
315000
3000
imaju slušne halucinacije.
05:30
And about 10 percentposto of the visuallyvizuelno impairedrasparen people
107
318000
3000
I oko 10 posto onih s oštećenim vidom
05:33
get visualvidni hallucinationshalucinacije.
108
321000
2000
imaju vidne halucinacije.
05:35
You don't have to be completelypotpuno blindslijep,
109
323000
2000
Ne morate biti potpuno slijepi,
05:37
only sufficientlydovoljno impairedrasparen.
110
325000
2000
nego samo dovoljno oštećenog vida.
05:39
Now with the originalizvornik descriptionopis in the 18thth centurystoljeće,
111
327000
4000
U originalnom opisu iz 18 stoljeća,
05:43
CharlesCharles BonnetPoklopac motora did not have them.
112
331000
2000
Charles Bonnet ih nije imao.
05:45
His grandfatherdeda had these hallucinationshalucinacije.
113
333000
3000
Njegova djed je imao ovakve halucinacije.
05:48
His grandfatherdeda was a magistrateSudac, an elderlypostariji man.
114
336000
3000
Njegov djed je bio sudac, stariji čovjek.
05:51
He'dOn bi had cataractkatarakt surgerykirurgija.
115
339000
3000
Operirao je mrenu.
05:54
His visionvizija was prettyprilično poorsiromašan.
116
342000
2000
vid mu je bio vrlo slab.
05:56
And in 1759, he describedopisan to his grandsonunuk
117
344000
5000
I 1759.godine je opisao svom unuku
06:01
variousraznovrstan things he was seeingvidim.
118
349000
2000
različite stvari koje su mu se priviđale.
06:03
The first thing he said was he saw
119
351000
2000
Prvo što je rekao je da je vidio
06:05
a handkerchiefrupčić in midairzraku.
120
353000
2000
maramicu u zraku.
06:07
It was a largeveliki blueplava handkerchiefrupčić
121
355000
2000
Bila je to velika plava maramica
06:09
with fourčetiri orangenarančasta circleskrugovi.
122
357000
2000
sa četiri narančasta kruga.
06:11
And he knewznao it was a hallucinationhalucinacija.
123
359000
3000
i znao je da je to bila halucinacija.
06:14
You don't have handkerchiefsmaramice in midairzraku.
124
362000
2000
Nemate baš maramica u zraku
06:16
And then he saw a bigvelika wheelkotač in midairzraku.
125
364000
4000
I vidio je veliki kotač u zraku.
06:20
But sometimesponekad he wasn'tnije sure whetherda li he was hallucinatinghalucinacije or not,
126
368000
5000
Ali ponekad nije bio siguran da li halucinira.
06:25
because the hallucinationshalucinacije would fitodgovara
127
373000
2000
Jer su se halucinacije uklapale
06:27
in the contextkontekst of the visionsvizije.
128
375000
2000
u kontekst vida.
06:29
So on one occasionprigodom, when his granddaughtersunuke were visitinggostujući them,
129
377000
3000
Tako je jednom prilikom, kad mu je unuka bila u posjeti,
06:32
he said, "And who are these handsomezgodan youngmladi menmuškarci with you?"
130
380000
5000
pitao, "A tko je ovaj zgodan mladić s tobom?"
06:37
And they said, "AlasJao, GrandpapaDjede, there are no handsomezgodan youngmladi menmuškarci."
131
385000
4000
A ona je odgovorila, "Jao, djede, pa nema nikakvog zgodnog mladića."
06:41
And then the handsomezgodan youngmladi menmuškarci disappearednestao.
132
389000
4000
I tada je zgodni mladić iščezao.
06:45
It's typicaltipičan of these hallucinationshalucinacije
133
393000
3000
To je tipično za ovakve halucinacije
06:48
that they maysvibanj come in a flashbljesak and disappearnestati in a flashbljesak.
134
396000
3000
da se mogu munjevito pojaviti i nestati.
06:51
They don't usuallyobično fadeuvenuti in and out.
135
399000
2000
Obično se ne pojavljuju i ne nestaju polagano.
06:53
They are ratherradije suddennaglo, and they changepromijeniti suddenlyiznenada.
136
401000
3000
One su prilično iznenadne. I mijenjaju se naglo.
06:56
CharlesCharles LullinLullin, the grandfatherdeda,
137
404000
3000
Charles Lullin, djeda,
06:59
saw hundredsstotine of differentdrugačiji figuresfigure,
138
407000
3000
vidio je na stotine različitih likova,
07:02
differentdrugačiji landscapeskrajolici of all sortsvrste.
139
410000
2000
različite krajolike svih vrsta
07:04
On one occasionprigodom, he saw a man in a bathrobekućni ogrtač smokingpušenje a pipecijev,
140
412000
4000
Jednom prilikom vidio je čovjeka u kućnom ogrtaču kako puši lulu,
07:08
and realizedshvatio it was himselfsam.
141
416000
3000
i shvatio je da je to on sam.
07:11
That was the only figurelik he recognizedpriznat.
142
419000
3000
To je bio jedini lik kojeg je prepoznao.
07:14
On one occasionprigodom when he was walkinghodanje in the streetsulice of ParisPariz,
143
422000
4000
Jednom prilikom dok je šetao ulicama Pariza,
07:18
he saw -- this was realstvaran -- a scaffoldingskele.
144
426000
3000
vidio je--zaista--građevinske skele.
07:21
But when he got back home, he saw a miniaturemini of the scaffoldingskele
145
429000
3000
Ali kad se vratio kući vidio je minijaturne skele
07:24
sixšest inchesinča highvisok, on his studystudija tablestol.
146
432000
4000
visoke petnaest centimetara na svom radnom stolu.
07:28
This repetitionponavljanje of perceptionpercepcija
147
436000
3000
Ovo ponavljanje percepcije
07:31
is sometimesponekad calledzvao palinopsiapalinopsia.
148
439000
2000
se ponekad zove palinopsija.
07:33
With him and with RosalieRosalie,
149
441000
5000
Kod njega, i kod Rosalie,
07:38
what seemsčini se to be going on --
150
446000
2000
se izgleda događalo--
07:40
and RosalieRosalie said, "What's going on?" --
151
448000
2000
i Rosalie je pitala, "Što se dešava?"--
07:42
and I said that as you loseizgubiti visionvizija,
152
450000
3000
a ja sam joj rekao da kad izgubiš vid,
07:45
as the visualvidni partsdijelovi of the brainmozak are no longerviše gettinguzimajući any inputulazni,
153
453000
3000
tada vidni dijelovi mozga više ne dobijaju ulazne informacije,
07:48
they becomepostati hyperactivehiperaktivna and excitablezapaljiv,
154
456000
3000
i postaju hiperaktivni i podražljivi.
07:51
and they startpočetak to firevatra spontaneouslyspontano.
155
459000
2000
I počinju spontano okidati.
07:53
And you startpočetak to see things.
156
461000
3000
I počinje vam se priviđati.
07:56
The things you see can be very complicatedsložen indeeddoista.
157
464000
3000
Stvari koje vidite mogu biti zaista komplicirane.
07:59
With anotherjoš patientpacijent of minerudnik,
158
467000
4000
Kod jednog mog pacijenta,
08:03
who, alsotakođer had some visionvizija,
159
471000
2000
koja je, (poput Charles Lullina) imala neka priviđenja,
08:05
the visionvizija she had could be disturbinguznemirujući.
160
473000
4000
priviđenja koja mogu biti uznemirujuća.
08:09
On one occasionprigodom, she said she saw
161
477000
3000
Jednom prilikom je rekla da je vidjela
08:12
a man in a stripedprugasta shirtkošulja in a restaurantrestoran.
162
480000
3000
čovjeka u prugastoj majici u restoranu.
08:15
And he turnedokrenut around. And then
163
483000
2000
I on se okrenuo. Tada
08:17
he dividedpodijeljen into sixšest figuresfigure in stripedprugasta shirtsmajice,
164
485000
3000
se podijelio u šest identičnih likova u prugastim majicama,
08:20
who startedpočeo walkinghodanje towardsza her.
165
488000
3000
koji su krenuli prema njoj.
08:23
And then the sixšest figuresfigure camedošao togetherzajedno again, like a concertinaspirale.
166
491000
3000
I tada su se šest figura opet spojila u jednu.
08:26
OnceJednom, when she was drivingvožnja,
167
494000
2000
jednom, dok je vozila,
08:28
or ratherradije, her husbandsuprug was drivingvožnja,
168
496000
2000
ili bolje, dok je vozio njen muž,
08:30
the roadcesta dividedpodijeljen into fourčetiri
169
498000
2000
cesta se podijelila u četiri ceste.
08:32
and she feltosjećala herselfona sama going simultaneouslyistovremeno up fourčetiri roadsceste.
170
500000
4000
I osjetila je kako istovremeno ide preko svih četiri.
08:36
She had very mobilemobilni hallucinationshalucinacije as well.
171
504000
5000
Imala je također, vrlo pokretne halucinacije.
08:41
A lot of them had to do with a carautomobil.
172
509000
3000
I većina je imala veze s autom.
08:44
SometimesPonekad she would see a teenagetinejdžerski boydječak
173
512000
2000
Ponekad bi vidjela adolescentnog dječaka
08:46
sittingsjedenje on the hoodNapa of the carautomobil.
174
514000
3000
kako sjedi na poklopcu motora automobila.
08:49
He was very tenaciousuporan and he movedpomaknuto ratherradije gracefullybez poteškoća
175
517000
2000
Bio je vrlo uporan i kretao se prilično graciozno
08:51
when the carautomobil turnedokrenut.
176
519000
2000
kad je auto skrenuo.
08:53
And then when they camedošao to a stop,
177
521000
3000
I kad su se zaustavili,
08:56
the boydječak would do a suddennaglo verticalvertikala takeoffpolijetanje, 100 footnoga in the airzrak,
178
524000
3000
dječak je iznenada uzletio, 30 metara u zrak,
08:59
and then disappearnestati.
179
527000
3000
i zatim nestao.
09:02
AnotherJoš jedan patientpacijent of minerudnik had a differentdrugačiji sortvrsta of hallucinationhalucinacija.
180
530000
5000
Jedan drugi moj pacijent je imao drugačiju vrstu halucinacija.
09:07
This was a womanžena who didn't have troublenevolja with her eyesoči,
181
535000
3000
To je bila žena koja nije imala poteškoća s očima,
09:10
but the visualvidni partsdijelovi of her brainmozak,
182
538000
2000
nego s vidnim dijelovima mozga.
09:12
a little tumortumor in the occipitalpotiljak cortexkorteks.
183
540000
3000
Maleni tumor u zatiljnom dijelu kore mozga.
09:15
And, aboveiznad all, she would see cartoonscrtani filmovi.
184
543000
5000
I, iznad svega, ona bi vidjela crtiće.
09:20
These cartoonscrtani filmovi would be transparenttransparentan
185
548000
5000
Ovi crtići bi bili prozirni
09:25
and would coverpokriti halfpola the visualvidni fieldpolje, like a screenzaslon.
186
553000
3000
i prekrivali bi polovicu vidnog polja, poput ekrana.
09:28
And especiallyposebno she saw cartoonscrtani filmovi of KermitKermit the FrogŽaba.
187
556000
6000
i naročito je vidjela crtiće s žapcem Kermitom.
09:34
(LaughterSmijeh)
188
562000
1000
(smijeh)
09:35
Now, I don't watch SesameSezam StreetUlica,
189
563000
3000
ja ne gledam Ulicu Sezam.
09:38
but she madenapravljen a pointtočka of sayingizreka,
190
566000
3000
Ali imala je pravo kad je govorila,
09:41
"Why KermitKermit?" She said, "KermitKermit the FrogŽaba meanssredstva nothing to me.
191
569000
4000
"Zašto Kermit?" Pitala je, "Žabac Kermit mi ništa ne znači.
09:45
You know, I was wonderingpitate about FreudianFrojdovski determinantsdeterminante.
192
573000
3000
Znate, razmišljao sam oko Freudovskih odrednica.
09:48
Why KermitKermit?
193
576000
2000
Zašto Kermit?
09:50
KermitKermit the FrogŽaba meanssredstva nothing to me."
194
578000
2000
Žabac Kermit mi ništa ne znači."
09:52
She didn't mindum the cartoonscrtani filmovi too much.
195
580000
2000
Nije baš marila za crtiće.
09:54
But what did disturbometaju her was she got very persistentuporni
196
582000
4000
Ali ono što ju je uznemirilo je to što je imala stalne
09:58
imagesslika or hallucinationshalucinacije of faceslica
197
586000
3000
slike ili halucinacije lica
10:01
and as with RosalieRosalie, the faceslica were oftenčesto deformeddeformirani,
198
589000
3000
i kao i kod Rosalie, lica su često bila deformirana,
10:04
with very largeveliki teethzubi or very largeveliki eyesoči.
199
592000
4000
s veoma velikim zubima, ili veoma velikim očima.
10:08
And these frighteneduplašen her.
200
596000
3000
I to ju je plašilo.
10:11
Well, what is going on with these people?
201
599000
4000
Dakle, što se događalo ovim ljudima?
10:15
As a physicianliječnik, I have to try and definedefinirati what's going on,
202
603000
3000
Kao liječnik, morao sam se potruditi i definirati što se događa,
10:18
and to reassureuvjeriti people,
203
606000
2000
i uvjeriti ljude.
10:20
especiallyposebno to reassureuvjeriti them that they're not going insanelud.
204
608000
4000
Naročito ih uvjeriti da neće poludjeti.
10:24
Something like 10 percentposto, as I said,
205
612000
3000
Oko 10 posto, kako sam rekao,
10:27
of visuallyvizuelno impairedrasparen people get these.
206
615000
3000
ljudi s oštećenjem vida imaju ovakve halucinacije.
10:30
But no more than one percentposto of the people acknowledgepriznati them,
207
618000
4000
Ali ne više od jedan posto ljudi ih priznaje.
10:34
because they are afraiduplašen they will be seenvidio as insanelud or something.
208
622000
3000
Jer se boje da će ih smatrati luđacima ili nešto slično.
10:37
And if they do mentionspomenuti them to theirnjihov ownvlastiti doctorsliječnici
209
625000
2000
I ako ih spominju svojim liječnicima
10:39
they maysvibanj be misdiagnoseddijagnosticirao.
210
627000
3000
mogu biti krivo dijagnosticirani.
10:42
In particularposebno, the notionpojam is that if you see
211
630000
2000
Uglavnom, smatra se da ako vidite
10:44
things or hearčuti things, you're going madlud,
212
632000
3000
stvari ili čujete stvari, da gubite razum.
10:47
but the psychoticpsihotičan hallucinationshalucinacije are quitedosta differentdrugačiji.
213
635000
3000
Ali psihotične halucinacije su nešto sasvim drugo.
10:50
PsychoticPsihopat hallucinationshalucinacije, whetherda li they are visualvidni or vocalvokalne,

Tako ljudi misle o tome.
11:15
There is alsotakođer a rarerijedak thing calledzvao temporalvremenski loberežanj epilepsyepilepsija,
223
663000
4000
Također postoji rijetko stanje koje se zove epilepsija sljepoočnog režnja.
11:19

So, what is going on?

Pa, što se događa?
12:26
FascinatinglyPrikaz fascinantno, in the last fewnekoliko yearsgodina,

13:06
And in particularposebno, one areapodručje of the temporalvremenski loberežanj
262

13:11
is calledzvao the fusiformfuziformne gyrusvijuge.
263
779000
2000
koje se zove fuziformna vijuga.
13:13
And it's knownznan that if people have damagešteta in the fusiformfuziformne gyrusvijuge,

I poznato je da ukoliko ljudi imaju oštećenje u fuziformnoj vijuzi,

they maybe loseizgubiti the abilitysposobnost to recognizeprepoznati faceslica.
265

13:21
But if there is an abnormalnenormalan activityaktivnost in the fusiformfuziformne gyrusvijuge,

and this is exactlytočno what you find in some of these people.
268
795000
3000
I to je točno ono što se može pronaći kod ovih ljudi.
13:30
There is an areapodručje in the anteriorprednji partdio of this gyrusvijuge

13:46

13:59
It's very interestingzanimljiv that that should be specificspecifično.
278

Jako je zanimljivo da bi to trebalo biti specifično.
14:02
There are other partsdijelovi of the brainmozak whichkoji are specificallyposebno involvedumiješan

282
838000
3000
Oko 1970.g. je otkriveno da nisu samo uključeni posebni dijelovi mozga,

284

5000
"Stanice za lice" su otkrivene oko 1970.g.
14:20
And now we know that there are hundredsstotine of other

i daje tome neku vrstu suvislosti.
16:02
but not terriblyužasno successfullyuspješno.
324
950000
2000
Ali ne strašno uspješno.
16:04
When these were first describedopisan,
325
952000
2000
Kada je ovo bilo prvi put opisano
16:06
it was thought that they could be interpretedtumačiti like dreamssnovi.
326
954000
4000
mislilo se da se mogu interpretirati poput snova.
16:10
But in factčinjenica people say,
327
958000
2000
Ali u stvari ljudi kažu,
16:12
"I don't recognizeprepoznati the people. I can't formoblik any associationsUdruga."
328
960000
3000
"Ne mogu prepoznati ljude. Ne mogu imati asocijacije."
16:15
"KermitKermit meanssredstva nothing to me."
329
963000
3000
"Kermit mi ništa ne znači."
16:18
You don't get anywherebilo kuda thinkingmišljenje of them as dreamssnovi.
330
966000
5000
Ne misle svi da su to snovi.
16:23
Well, I've more or lessmanje said what I wanted.
331
971000
5000
Dakle, rekao sam više, manje što sam želio.
16:28
I think I just want to recapitulaterekapitulirati
332
976000
3000
Mislim da želim samo ponoviti
16:31
and say this is commonzajednička.
333
979000
2000
i reći da je ovo često.
16:33
Think of the numberbroj of blindslijep people.
334
981000
2000
Pomislite koliko ima slijepih ljudi.
16:35
There mustmora be hundredsstotine of thousandstisuća of blindslijep people
335
983000
2000
Mora biti na stotine tisuća slijepih ljudi
16:37
who have these hallucinationshalucinacije,
336
985000
2000
koji imaju ovakve halucinacije,
16:39
but are too scaredprestrašen to mentionspomenuti them.
337
987000
2000
ali koji se boje spominjati ih.
16:41
So this sortvrsta of thing needspotrebe to be broughtdonio into
338

Tako da se o ovoj stvari treba obznaniti

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Oliver Sacks - Neurological anthropologist
Since "Awakenings" stormed the bestseller lists (and the silver screen), Oliver Sacks has become an unlikely household name, single-handedly inventing the genre of neurological anthropology.

Why you should listen

Oliver Sacks was a ground-breaking neurologist -- and a gifted storyteller who enriched our knowledge of the infinite variations of human psychology. After his pioneering work with “sleepy sickness” patients (who were in fact survivors of an early-20th-century pandemic), Sacks went on to study the connections between music and the brain, as well as disorders such as Tourette's syndrome, Parkinson's disease, and many other little-understood disorders that often count Sacks as one of their first chroniclers.

Sacks was well known as a writer of such best-selling case histories as HallucinationsThe Man Who Mistook His Wife for a HatAn Anthropologist on Mars, and his memoir of his early work, Awakenings, all of which have breathed new life into the dusty 19th-century tradition of the clinical anecdote. Sacks' writing, compassion and wide-ranging knowledge catapults the genre into the 21st century and brings the far frontiers of neurological experience into the view of millions of readers worldwide. Sacks died at age 82 in August 2015.
