NEURO-LOGIC is a foundational text about localization in the nervous
system-the fundamental skill of clinical neurology. Written in an
easily understandable and entertaining expanded outline format, the
book integrates basic neuroscience information, the art of
neurological examination, and disease-based knowledge. Over 95
crystal-clear illustrations illuminate topography, anatomic
relationships, and clinical concepts. The material in this book is
field-tested, and evolved from a syllabus the authors developed over
many years of teaching introductory neurology to medical students.
With a logical approach to the nervous system, the book takes readers
step-by-step from the basics of the cerebral hemispheres and Brodmann
areas to complex details about brainstem stroke syndromes, basal
ganglia pathways, and brachial/lumbosacral plexi. It also contains a
neuropsychiatry section exploring the relationship of frontal lobes
and psychiatric disorders, and includes a section on special
applications covering coma, epilepsy, movement, vertigo, cord
compression, and autonomics. Written by renowned neurological
educators, this concise primer will serve students throughout medical
school rotations, post-graduate residency training, and medical
practice during the lifelong learning task of evaluating patients with
neurological problems. It is also a useful aid for neurology residents
for reviewing the basics or preparing for their Residency In Service
Training Exam (RITE), and for clinicians in related specialties who
want to sharpen their neurological acumen.
