Resources to study #Neurology

Adams and Victor’s. By far my favourite textbook.
The book is more clinically oriented, coloured with anecdotes and mental models. Reading it feels like seeing a pt in the ward/OPD

It has elements of philosophy, history and is written eloquently.
Whimsical, yet profound, it’s teachings stay with me. Added bonus, my Guru in Neurology finds mention in the text 🙃 I’d recommend this for #mbbs #md and #dm students

Bradley is the standard #textbook in #neurology. A great book, it’s more like #Harrison. Great for information, latest research and management. Essential for the DM #neurology candidate, but also useful for MD #internalmedicine

For Nerve Muscle I’d recommend these three. Prof Khadilkar’s (another Guru of mine) book is an essential gem for DM candidates. Shapiro to learn #electrophysiology NCS, EDx. have an interest in nerve muscle so Amato . These are for DM and physicians convinced they want #neuro

This is a book I picked up in #MBBS and fell in love with #neurology 3 chapters in and I was convinced I would do nothing else. Highly recommended for #mbbs #md #dm anyone!

For #epilepsy Panayiotopoulos is the best. Love the descriptions of #seizures in the patients own words. Fenichel is great for #paediatrics and #pediatric neurology, especially for someone like me with an Internal Medicine broad speciality

For #movementdisorders I like Jankovic and this Review by IAN is great! Love books with an Indian perspective.

#clinical neurology
Bickerstaff for MBBS
DeJong’s for MD
Brazis for DM

#medicalstudent #textbook

For #NeuroRad there’s Osborn’s Brain. It’s vast and 3 parts. Essential for #radiology and #neurorad, important topics for Neurology (still vast😆)

For #dementia which is the long case in neurology exams, Jose is succinct. Special mention to this textbook by the great Prof NH Wadia, first HOD of my Department and Father of Indian Neurology. Books with an Indian perspectives are as Sir Alex Ferguson would say “rare birds”

Over and above this there are numerous resources like #uptodate and @ContinuumAAN which are essential companions.
I prefer physical books. The texture, the smell, writing my experiences in the margins with my 0.35mm pen
Hope this helps @AdiG1993 !
