How to Think Like a Neurologist; A Case-Based Guide to Clinical Reasoning in Neurology

How to Think Like a Neurologist redefines the approach to neurology education, breaking down the barriers of neurophobia and revealing the critical thinking and clinical reasoning neurologists use to diagnose complex conditions.

Rather than portraying neurologists as walking encyclopedias of medical knowledge, this book presents them as expert problem-solvers who recognize patterns, categorize findings, and conduct targeted research to reach accurate diagnoses.

Through engaging case studies, this volume shifts the focus away from memorizing diseases and instead emphasizes the art of clinical reasoning—an intuitive yet structured approach to identifying neurological disorders. The cases may feature rare and unusual conditions, but their true purpose is to teach the diagnostic process itself.

By the end, readers will have a practical framework they can apply to their own clinical practice, transforming how they approach neurological diagnosis and decision-making.
