The Neurotransmitters: Clinical Neurology Education

We kick off Chief Concerns 2.0 by moving from initial diagnosis to practical management for common neurology problems.
We would love to hear from our community to shape what comes next. What are the questions you have? Write in and let us know or leave a voicemail for us on Speakpipe!
We also give some updates on other projects we are working on (both neurology related and otherwise)!

Dr. Anand Bery joins us today to talk about how to approach dizziness without making your head spin!
We share a step-by-step way to approach dizziness without getting lost in vague symptoms, moving from red flags to timing, triggers, and targeted bedside exams. When should use the HINTS exam, Dix-Hallpike, and practical tips help to help you identify strokes vs causes of peripheral causes of vertigo, and improve care.
You can find futher resources for dizziness below:
We have some further resources recommended by Dr. Bery to further your dizziness knowledge!
Dr. Peter Johns' YouTube channel (Ottawa, Canada) - I recommend novices start with "Popular Videos"
I recommend Dr. Dan Gold's entire collection
the "Test Your Knowledge" videos (like the one linked here) are particularly helpful for getting comfortable interpreting HINTS. Putting the following term in the search bar brings a wealth of videos -- creator_t:"gold" hints

We walk through a practical approach to evaluating cognitive change with Dr. Seth Gale, from fast domain-based questions and high-yield screening to when, and how, to utilized imaging and biomarkers meaningfully. We also cover reversible factors, older medications used in dementia management, lifestyle changes that can benefit, and how new Alzheimer’s treatments shift urgency in making a definitive diagnosis.

Dr. Marcus Pinto joins us to break down how to evaluate new numbness, tingling, and foot pain with simple bedside tests that separate true neuropathy from common mimics. Practical steps, key red flags, and a high-yield lab strategy give primary care and non-neuro clinicians a clear path forward.

• distinguishing positive vs negative symptoms
• using location and constancy to sort causes
• recognizing stocking–glove vs focal patterns
• bedside “eyes closed” test for persistence
• neuropathic pain descriptors vs mechanical pain
• autonomic clues: gastroparesis and orthostatic hypotension
• gait, heel–toe walking, and reflex triage
• light touch, pinprick, temperature, and vibration methods
• when vibration beats proprioception
• ulcers as a marker of severity and healing issues
• chronicity clues: atrophy, high arches, hammered toes
• targeted labs: CBC, CMP, HbA1c, lipids, B12, B1, B6, copper, zinc
• when to order EMG and what to avoid
• metabolic health and neuropathy progression
