NEJM Journal Watch Neurology Top Stories of 2016
S. Andrew Josephson, MD
A perspective on the most important research in the field from the past year
Dear Readers,
I am pleased to introduce this year’s NEJM Journal Watch Neurology Top Stories of 2016. As in years past, I have made these selections after carefully reviewing all of the year’s summaries. In making the choices, I have tried to strike a balance between relevance to the clinician, coverage of the various fields within neurology, recognition of landmark studies, and media publicity and public awareness. The sequence of stories is not intended to reflect their relative importance. I hope you find the list useful and thought-provoking.
