Abstract
Dostoevsky suffered from epilepsy all his life. It is known that the characters with epilepsy and the epileptic seizure held an important key in his story. While interpreting his illness and works from a neuroscience perspective, this short essay goes further and examines the structure of polyphony advocated by Bakhtin about Dostoevsky's works. Neuroscientific significance could be found in the polyphonic structure of his work consisting of the multi-layered structure of dialogue and narrative.
