NPLEX on the Go delivers high-yield, board-style cases and questions to help you prepare for the NPLEX Part 1 Basic Sciences exam. Each episode covers pathology, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and more—designed to reinforce key concepts and sharpen your test-taking skills. Study anywhere, anytime with this portable question bank in podcast form.
In this episode, we break down a complex neuro-localization case involving cranial nerve deficits, spinal cord tract findings, and positional headaches related to intracranial pressure. Through four board-style questions, we integrate neuroanatomy, vascular supply, physiology, and spinal cord lesion patterns to sharpen high-yield clinical reasoning skills.
Topics covered include:
• Nucleus ambiguus lesions and gag reflex deficits
• Brown-Séquard syndrome and spinal cord hemisection
• Intracranial pressure changes with body position
• Anterior spinal artery syndrome and tract localization
• High-yield neuro-localization concepts for board exams
Designed for quick, high-yield review during commutes, workouts, or study breaks.

Reproductive 3: Pearls Before Ovaries
In this episode, we break down a classic presentation of polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome in a young woman with irregular cycles, infertility, hirsutism, and insulin resistance. Through four board-style questions, we integrate endocrinology, reproductive physiology, pathology, and metabolism to understand the hormonal imbalances driving PMOS.
Topics covered include:
• “String of pearls” ovarian morphology in PMOS
• Theca interna cells and androgen excess
• Insulin resistance and decreased SHBG
• LH:FSH imbalance and anovulation
• High-yield reproductive endocrinology concepts for board exams
Designed for quick, high-yield review during commutes, workouts, or study breaks.

Neurology 3: Tangled Up in Tau
In this episode, we work through a classic case of progressive memory loss and cognitive decline in an older adult. Using four board-style questions, we connect neuroanatomy, pathology, physiology, and neurotransmitter function to understand the hallmark features of Alzheimer disease and how to distinguish it from other neurodegenerative disorders.
Topics covered include:
• Hippocampal degeneration and early memory loss
• Amyloid-β plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles
• Cholinergic deficits and the nucleus basalis of Meynert
• Differentiating Alzheimer disease from Parkinson, Huntington, and prion diseases
• High-yield neurodegenerative disease concepts for board exams
Designed for quick, high-yield review during commutes, workouts, or study breaks.
