Neuro-Logic: A Primer on Localization

Neuro-Logic is a foundational text about localisation in the nervous system-the fundamental skill of clinical neurology. Clearly written in expanded outline format, the book integrates basic neuroscience information, the skills of neurological examination, disease-based knowledge, and real-world practical experience on the wards and in the clinic. Over 95 original 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. The book demonstrates a logical approach to the nervous system that 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.
