Who are the most influential neurologists in history? Not an easy task as the starting field is rather wide. Creating a ‘top list‘ of anything is potentially controversial because there are often no clear inclusion criteria, and justifications are often subjective.   Link I was initially swayed by the length of Wikipedia entries but cautioned myself when I noticed that the piece on Raymond Adams was very brief. Furthermore, there was no entry at all for C David Marsden! Sacrilege, I thought. I felt strongly enough ..read more

It is conceived as a mobile resource to aid all cadres of medical professionals. It has 18 categories, each consisting of chapters divided into topics. All checklists ..read more

Neurologists used to be at the receiving end of the joke that they knew so much, but did very little to treat their patients. Acknowledged as masters of history-taking and clinical examination, neurologists unfortunately had next to nothing to cure the disorders that plague the nervous system. In that bygone era, neurologists only handed out consolation and palliation.

Nowadays, they ..read more
