Abstract
The neurological examination is a carefully choreographed sequence of observations and elicited responses that transforms clinical signs into meaningful data, providing the trainee with a framework for formulating a possible diagnosis. This art form of examination still lives on among a few masters of the craft, but the precision of digitized data points is gaining ground, as it should.
期刊介绍:
CNS Spectrums covers all aspects of the clinical neurosciences, neurotherapeutics, and neuropsychopharmacology, particularly those pertinent to the clinician and clinical investigator. The journal features focused, in-depth reviews, perspectives, and original research articles. New therapeutics of all types in psychiatry, mental health, and neurology are emphasized, especially first in man studies, proof of concept studies, and translational basic neuroscience studies. Subject coverage spans the full spectrum of neuropsychiatry, focusing on those crossing traditional boundaries between neurology and psychiatry.
