Cannabis to concussion

Abstract

This issue of Neurology® Clinical Practice features thought-provoking articles on disparate topics. Gardner et al. (p. 285) tackle chronic traumatic encephalopathy, describing clinical and pathologic features in 14 self-referred symptomatic former professional football players. Harold Adams (p. 296) details the controversy surrounding treatment of patients who awaken with stroke symptoms whose time of onset cannot be established. Borsook and Dodick (p. 317) make a passionate plea to recognize the disabling nature of migraine. While it is not clear whether challenges to the Affordable Care Act will result in large numbers of Americans returning to the rolls of the uninsured, Taylor et al. (p. 302) chronicle the creation of a free neurology clinic that might serve as a model for others.
