In November 2015, Nature Reviews Neurology (originally published as Nature Clinical Practice Neurology) celebrates 10 years since the journal launch. To mark this occasion, we present a special Anniversary issue. A series of Decade in Review articles summarize major advances in the neurology field over the past decade. We also present a Viewpoint in which a panel of neurologists outline their predictions and priorities for the next 10 years. In addition, an Essay pays tribute to Jack Griffin, our launch Editor-in-Chief, and an Opinion article highlights the importance of preserving brain health in our ageing population. Finally, a special infographic provides a snapshot of 10 years of the journal in numbers.

John W. 'Jack' Griffin (1942–2011) was the launch Editor-in-Chief of Nature Clinical Practice Neurology, and continued to serve on the Advisory Board after the journal was rebranded as Nature Reviews Neurology in 2009. In this Essay, the authors pay tribute to Jack, highlighting his seminal contributions to the field of inflammatory neuropathies, and reviewing recent progress in this area, including the emergence of the node of Ranvier as a site of intensive investigation.

The risk factors for cardiovascular disease are largely the same as those that harm brain health, and—importantly—these shared risk factors are modifiable. This Perspectives article discusses how the conceptual shift from avoiding vascular risk factors to promoting brain health creates opportunities for reducing morbidity and mortality associated with poor brain health.
