localize the lesion before you name the disease
A (Pediatric) Neurology Learning Resource
A searchable index of neuromuscular disease built on the Washington University Neuromuscular Disease Center pages, with gene and condition pages, a daily gene, and board-style questions.
Reading neuroimaging the way a neurologist needs to: sequences, anatomy, and the classic patterns behind stroke, demyelination, tumors, infection, and pediatric disorders.
The habit this site is named for: working out where the problem is before deciding what it is. Twelve interactive modules on localization and the neurologic examination in children, from telling upper from lower motor neuron weakness to building a differential.
A pediatric EEG reading curriculum: twelve self-paced modules from electrodes and montages to reading a neonatal or PICU record and writing the report, with decision questions, quizzes and faculty sign-offs.
Where before what. The oldest rule in neurology: find the lesion before you name the disease. A weak hand, a lost reflex, a child who stopped walking are addresses first and diagnoses second. Fix the address and the list of suspects writes itself; skip it and the list is everyone. The sections here keep that order, from muscle and nerve to image to rhythm.
