Neurology is a complex field with many nuances specific to individual patients. Each patient's neurological condition can present uniquely, influenced by a myriad of factors such as genetics, lifestyle, comorbidities, and environmental exposures. This complexity means the traditional method of learning medicine by subject matter often fails to capture the essence of real-world clinical practice. Like all skills, proficiency in neurology is acquired through mindful practice. This involves deep analysis of each case, corrected in real-time by gold standards such as genetic tests, imaging, and pathology. To maintain and expand one's expertise, this process must be continually practiced throughout one's career.Neurology: One Patient at a Time is a collection of clinical commentaries written by Dr. Martin A. Samuels based on cases covered in the daily "Morning Report", which he initiated in the department of Neurology at Brigham and Women's. Each case is meticulously analyzed, with relevant references to literature and his personal judgment as one of the world's leading neurologists. This blend of evidence-based concepts and expert interpretation allows for a more holistic approach to patient care. Containing more than 70 representative patient cases, Neurology: One Patient at a Time provides invaluable insights for trainees and experts alike.

Samuels and Ropper's Neurological CPCs from the New England Journal of Medicine is a collection of clinicopathological cases (CPCs) authored by two of the most frequent discussors of the storied "Clinical Pathologic Conference" first introduced by Richard Cabot in the early 1900s and published in the "New England Journal of Medicine." In one concise volume, the authors present 18 cases, assembled chronologically, that encompass the wider variety of neurologic conditions encountered by every resident and practicing clinician. Each case concludes with a modern perspective to bring the classic case in to a modern setting. These cases exemplify the traditional method of neurologic diagnosis and are the perfect catalyst with which to stimulate discussions with students and residents as well as a supplement to standardized course material.
