00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:05.040
It's 7 16 in the morning.
00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:08.320
Laura is having breakfast with her family.
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:14.320
Her daughter can't find her sweater, and her husband is scrolling through emails on his phone.
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:16.960
It's an ordinary Tuesday morning.
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:19.839
Until Laura tries to speak and can't.
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:22.399
A race against time begins.
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:26.559
What happens over the next few hours will change her life.
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:33.200
Follow Laura's medical journey as her treating neurologist making decisions where every minute matters.
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:40.000
A patient walks into your clinic with numbness that's getting worse.
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:46.320
Someone who's been living with relentless headaches has already been to the emergency department three times.
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:51.439
A woman opens her MRI report and sees three words she doesn't understand.
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:53.359
White matter disease.
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:58.320
A family begins to notice that dad isn't quite himself anymore.
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:03.520
Different people, different symptoms, different stories.
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:06.400
But they all leave us with the same question.
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.200
What's happening inside the brain?
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:11.519
This is neurologist Dr.
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:13.599
Andrew Michelli and neurologist Dr.
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:21.040
Michelle Yeeggy, and this is tales from the cortex, stories from inside the brain.
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:24.879
This isn't your typical medical podcast.
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:29.760
Every episode begins with a story, a symptom, a mystery.
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:35.519
We'll meet patients from the moment something feels wrong and follow their story as it unfolds.
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:39.599
But you won't just listen, you'll become the neurologist.
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:41.760
What questions will you ask?
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.920
Where would you localize the problem?
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:45.920
Which tests would you order?
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.879
And would you treat now or wait?
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.400
What happens when the answer isn't clear?
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:56.640
Along the way, I'll show you how neurologists actually think.
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:06.159
Using the temporal course of symptoms, accompanying clues, neurological examination, and neuroanatomy to make sense of what the brain is trying to tell us.
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.599
Not from a textbook, but from real clinical cases.
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:19.120
And you don't need a medical degree to follow along, just curiosity, because every symptom is a clue and every brain has a unique story.
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.879
Let's make sense of them, one case at a time.
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.439
This is Tales from the Cortex.
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:28.719
Stories from inside the brain.
