Clinical neurology and neuroanatomy


簡介(Book Description from Amazon):

Clinical Neurology and Neuroanatomy delivers a clear, logical discussion of the complex relationship between neuroanatomical structure and function and neurologic disease. Written in a clear, concise style, this unique text offers a concise overview of fundamental neuroanatomy and the clinical localization principles necessary to diagnose and treat patients with neurologic diseases. Unlike other neurology textbooks that either focus on neuroanatomy or clinical neurology, Clinical Neurology and Neuroanatomy integrates the two in manner which simulates the way neurologists learn, teach, and think.
Clinical Neurology and Neuroanatomy is divided into two main sections. In Part 1, clinically relevant neuroanatomy is presented in clinical context in order to provide a framework for neurologic localization and differential diagnosis. The diseases mentioned in localization-based discussions of differential diagnosis in Part 1 are then discussed in clinical detail with respect to their diagnosis and management in Part 2.  Part 1 can therefore be consulted for a neuroanatomical localization-based approach to symptom evaluation, and Part 2 for the clinical features, diagnosis, and management of neurologic diseases.

I bought this book for my neurology sub-I as a fourth year medical student after several people at HMS recommended it. I would highly recommend it. It is very easy to read in lay person language for the most part and a lot of great illustrations. Chapters are relatively short and well organized. The author does a great job at breaking down tough concepts in simple terms. This is the type of book you can read for a bit every night even when you are brain dead after a long day (I did).
Good for medical students, neurology sub-I, residents. It is not a comprehensive book but it's great for the gunners during third year of medical school or as an introductory book for sub-I and PGY-2 year or for attendings renewed their boards (my mentor used it and really liked it).

One of the best resources for all levels of Neurology training. Have recommended this to a few fellow residents and we have all found it extremely useful! Definitely recommend!

I'm about 150 pages in and this is THE BOOK I've been looking for ever since I was a third year medical student (I'm currently 4th year neurology resident). This book is pearl after pearl. It's like re-living my last 2.5 years of neurology residency only with much clearer explanations for everything. There have been so many times in residency I've turned to google or flipped through the massive other neurology textbooks I have to try and figure out exactly what the difference is between cocaine/apraclonidine eye drops, remind myself exactly how to distinguish a supranuclear gaze palsy from infranuclear etc etc and often only after a long time searching do I find a partial answer. But it's literally all there in this textbook AND it is written very clearly in a way that I don't have to read the same paragraph over and over to make sense of it. Also the length of each chapter is super digestable -- way less intimidating that hundreds of pages on the brainstem! It is also written in such as way that it not only provides the information but also provides ways to understand and remember the information. I wish I'd had this book at the beginning of my residency -- but nonetheless I'm overjoyed to have it as a resource now and after I finish reading it cover to cover I am certain I will be referring back to it frequently. It is a must have for all neurology residents and any medical students eager to really learn neurology.
