Abstract
Marginalia, or apostils, are defined as notes, comments or other markings made in the margins of a book or document. As a reader who has habitually added markings and comments to such documents over many years, I offer some thoughts on the purposes of marginalia added to neurological texts. I also include some practical recommendations on how readers might construct marginalia. Rather than merely personalising a text, marginalia may have the capacity to foster systematic reading and critical thinking and may facilitate the process of writing.
期刊介绍：
The essential point of Practical Neurology is that it is practical in the sense of being useful for everyone who sees neurological patients and who wants to keep up to date, and safe, in managing them. In other words this is a journal for jobbing neurologists - which most of us are for at least part of our time - who plough through the tension headaches and funny turns week in and week out. Primary research literature potentially relevant to routine clinical practice is far too much for any neurologist to read, let alone understand, critically appraise and assimilate. Therefore, if research is to influence clinical practice appropriately and quickly it has to be digested and provided to neurologists in an informative and convenient way.
