Resources

Interactive neuro exam
Good resource for students. Video clips are available showing the physical exam. Text and tables are also presented.
Connecticut tutorials
15- to 30-minute video clips outlining practices in several disciplines, including neurology, cardiology, pulmonology among several others.

Wisconsin Medical Neurosciences
Excellent movies and navigation through several different pathways. "Quicktime" available for download.
Harvard Whole Brain Atlas
Excellent source for images including PET scans and MRI. Useful for self-evaluation and study
Atlas from Washington University
Many gross anatomy images. Includes interactive quizzes for brain structures. Very good study guide.
Neuropathology and Neuroimaging
Very nice pictures of pathologic processes and disease. Very little text or teaching.
University of Rochester, Muscle and Nerve pathology
Reference for images of muscle and nerve biopsy.

UC DAVIS Neurological Eye Simulator
This website contains some great simulation programs that allows you to enable or disable various nerves and muscles of the eye and elicit the appropriate response. There are also quiz modules asking you to decipher in which muscle or nerve the lesion lies. This website is helpful for students in the neuroanatomy course for discovering the actions of CN III, IV, and VI, as well as for more advanced medical students and residents - especially in the quiz section that tests knowledge of the particular lesion, symptom, or case study presented. Excellent teaching tool.
Handbook of Ocular Disease Management
This website provides nice boxes of "clinical pearls" that appear to be very helpful for students in clinical rotations and possibly for resident review. There is information on a variety of disorders, including information regarding their signs and symptoms, pathophysiology, and management. There does not seem to be interactive activities on this website and the pictures are not able to be enlarged.

Neurosciences Guide to the Internet
This site is a search engine designed specifically for the neurosciences. It is helpful in that it allows simulations on selection using 'and/ or' criteria.
Harrison's Online
Online Harrison's, the "authoritative" medicine textbook."
PubMed
Up to Date
Quick, easy to search guide to the most current information. Useful only if you are on campus or have personal paid access.

NIH
The NIH is always a good place to look for funding. If you are a medical student, look into the "F31" grants. If you are an MD/PhD student, check out "F30". If you are an upper level resident who is thinking about fellowship or an academic career, look toward the "K" grants.
NINDS
National Institute of Neurologic Disease and Stroke is willing to provide grant money for individuals conducting research that will further neurology research.
American Heart Association
The AHA is concerned with vascular function and may be willing to fund stroke research.

American Physician Scientist Association
Good resource for MD/PhD students. Provides opportunities to become involved and contribute to the clinician/scientist community as we continue to bridge the gap from bench to bedside.
Medical Scientist Training Program
Student written guide to what the MD/PhD application process and a basic outline of the programs.
MD/PhD.org
Another basic outline web site. Lists all of the programs in the United States.
