RECOMMENDATIONS
There are endless brilliant resources out there for anybody learning neurology, but here are things I've enjoyed learning from - and continue to do so.
YouTube
YouTube Channels
Neuro-ophthalmology with Dr. Andrew Lee - a YouTube channel with many short tutorials on all things neuro-ophthalmology. If you struggle to understand skew deviation, internuclear ophthalmoplegia and the ocular tilt reaction - Dr. Lee has you covered.
Dr Marty Samuels - Video Atlas of the Detailed Neurological Examination. Dr Samuels, sadly no longer with us, was a fantastic educator, and this is a worthy series to watch.
Dr Peter Johns' videos on vertigo. Dr Johns is an emergency physician who has great videos on the assessment of acute vertigo, including the proper use of HINTS testing, with examples of the signs.
Radiology Tutorials. Masses of useful content - for example CT brain changes in acute ischaemic stroke.
The Neurophile. Lots of useful neuroradiology content.
YouTube VideosRelevant to radiology and key anatomy, for those who want it:
Books
Stroke Syndromes - Caplan & van Gijn. This is a brilliant resource - with encyclopaedic information on clinical neuroanatomy in relation to strokes, including important anatomical variations.
Neurological Differential Diagnosis - John Patten. A resource that is as artistically beautiful as it is clinically useful. It has aged well - the last edition was written in 1995 but the clinical anatomy is forever, as are Patten's insights.
Netter's Atlas of Anatomy. Great and beautiful neuroanatomy content, and Netter illustrated much more - including many clinical images relevant to neurology.
Neuroanatomy: an Illustrated Colour Text - Crossman & Neary. An essential book.
Basic Clinical Neuroanatomy - Paul A. Young & Paul H Young. A father-and-son duo who wrote a classic, with lots of clinical tips, and a fantastic localisation chapter at the back with short cases.
Clinically Oriented Anatomy - Moore. A great book. I find the best way to learn anatomy is with clinically meaningful examples for context - and the best way to learn clinical is to link it back to the anatomy. They are one thing, and if we unified them better, people would be less 'neurophobic'.
McLeod's Clinical Examination. The neurology chapter is concise and provides an excellent and practical approach.
Journals - series and articles
Series
The New England Journal of Medicine: Case Records of the Massachussetts General Hospital. Find all the neurological ones and work through them - you'll see how the masters break down complex cases and form a differential diagnosis.
Neurology: Resident & Fellow section. There are so many great cases which are broken down, including focusing on clinical reasoning and localisation. There are also lots of great mini features, such as videos of clinical signs, or educational snippets.
Specific articlesWebsites
The Movement Disorder Society website - this is free for trainees/residents but you have to register. It has endless online content about Movement Disorders including recorded lectures and interactive tutorials.
Stroke Manual. A great, free resource with a lot of useful content, including on neuroanatomy and clinical features of different strokes, for example brainstem.
Eye Wiki. I'm not an ophthalmologist so much of this isn't for me - but the neuro-ophthalmology content is excellent.
European Academy of Neurology - eCampus (subscriber). Huge trove of content included pre-recorded lectures, podcasts and clinical cases.
Podcasts
Practical Neurology - case podcasts. The entirety of Practical Neurology is gold value, but the podcast cases are fabulous if you want to hear clinical reasoning at its finest.
The Neurophobia podcast. This is a podcast some colleagues make, aimed at doctors early in their training (before neurology specialty training). The aim is to make neurology less 'scary' by talking through real cases for learning. I've featured a couple of times.
