Summary: a best buy book on the neuro exam
Comment: This is a softcover, inexpensive book on the neurological examination. It is clearly and simply written, but is not long. It covers all the parts of the complete neurological exam (cognition, language, cranial nerves, motor function, reflexes, sensation, coordination, and gait). Illustrations are sketches in black and white.

I do not think any other book in this price range gives such a detailed overview of the neuro exam.

I gave this book 4 stars for the following (nitpicky) reasons:
1. I would have preferred if the book were organized according to the traditional order of the neuro exam, i.e. start w/ the mental status exam, not finish w/ it!
2. The section on aphasias does not include transcortical aphasias!
3. The only apraxia mentioned is gait apraxia!
4. Not enough eponyms! No mention of Babinski's platysma sign (although the section on the facial nerve does mention the platysma...a nice touch), the Stransky sign, or the Jendrassik maneuver!
