JAMA Neurology
Mission Statement: The mission of JAMA Neurology is to publish and disseminate scientific information primarily important for physicians caring for people with neurologic disorders and for those interested in the structure and function of the normal and diseased human nervous system. The specific aims are to (1) publish timely original research, including clinical trials that will directly improve clinical neurologic care and that will inform efforts to improve neurological health and promote health care equity; (2) report translational research that is pertinent to the understanding of neurologic disease; (3) address topi...

Bypassing Closest Stroke Center for Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Prehospital stroke triage protocols focus on enabling rapid access to 2 proven time-sensitive short-term treatments: intravenous thrombolysis for all eligible patients with disabling acute ischemic stroke and endovascular therapy (EVT) for select patients with acute ischemic stroke from large vessel occlusion (LVO). As EVT is a particularly powerful treatment with an estimated number needed to treat of 2 to 3, prehospital screening tools and protocols have been developed that prioritize identifying potential patients with LVO in the field and preferentially transporting them to EVT-capable centers, even if this means bypas...

Tau Pathology Without A β
Alzheimer disease (AD) is characterized by accumulation of amyloid- β (Aβ) plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles that can be identified at autopsy or during life with fluid or imaging biomarkers. The presence of Aβ accumulation is an early event that precedes cognitive impairment by at least a decade and, based on the National Institute on Aging–Alzheimer’s Association Research Framework, defines whether an individual is on the AD pathway. The pathologic spread of tau aggregations throughout the brain appears to be triggered by Aβ, a sequence supported by the observation that abnormal tau, especially when present...
