Overview
Most neurology questions on the exam ask one thing: given these signs, where is the lesion, and what will it do to speech, language, cognition or swallowing? This outline gives the framework: the lobes, the upper and lower motor neuron systems, the basal ganglia and cerebellar control circuits, the arteries and what each supplies, and what each hemisphere contributes. Details live in sibling outlines: Cranial Nerves for the nerve-by-nerve exam, Motor Speech Disorders for the dysarthria types, Aphasia Classification for the language network, Dementia & Right Hemisphere Disorders for right hemisphere communication, and Swallowing Anatomy & Physiology for the swallow.
