Neurology in 2026 retains the same core clinical reasoning as it did fifty years ago. The neurological examination remains the most vital component of the evaluation. While trainees may get distracted by advanced MRIs, new antibodies, and podcasts, mastery of neurology must be learned at the bedside. What differentiates a Neurologist from an internist is the ability to perform a neurological examination. Without it, one cannot localize the problem, define the syndrome, or provide effective care for neurological patients. We must reinforce the fundamentals of neurology for the new generation. No matter how many tests are available, the basics are the same.

Interesting work by Prof. Taira and colleagues: unilateral FUS pallidothalamic tractotomy (PTT) in Parkinson’s disease showed short-term improvement in bilateral wearing-off and dyskinesia. It is presumably due to bilateral projections of the PTT. https://t.co/fGPrTHDBfi

Happy to share our paper on a podcast intended to teach medical humanities in medical school. 'It deals with subjects that are very important to me and that we rarely have the opportunity to discuss during our studies' a student said.

I interviewed two of the great thinkers on the potential limitations of phenomenology-based diagnosis in our field: @MarkHallett007 and Mark Edwards. Always stimulating, thought-provoking and fun! #MDSpodcast @UHNSHSNeurology

We describe 4 “classic” cases of functional dystonia who improved with integrated rehabilitation. Rehab can provide benefit even when the etiology is unclear - and helps patients. Check it out!
