Being a resident in a tertiary center is like a blessing in disguise with lots of learning opportunities and a wide range of patients to work with from admission until discharge. This is a compilation of a few such cases that aroused my interest in the field of neuroscience.  I've penned down a few experiences during my residency in the Department of General Medicine. One case involved a 45-year-old male in the outpatient department. He had jerking movements in his arms and legs, and his sister, who was sitting beside him, had similar movements with less intensity.  This made me wonder about the microscopic structures called neurons that control these visible movements, which are under the control of genetic material within cells.  Further investigation revealed a family history of similar complaints, suggesting an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance.  After conducting a thorough clinical examination, history, and pedigree chart, we discovered that there was a fam...
