The long and arduous endeavor of Alzheimer’s disease research.
An editorial from 1976 suggesting combining presenile and senile dementia was an unfortunate game-changer.
Alzheimer’s disease is a complex age-related brain disease. Amid all the discussions of whether recently announced anti-amyloid therapies that target the amyloid beta peptide in the brain are a breakthrough or a cause for disappointment, it may be worthwhile to take a look back and go over some of the earlier AD research papers.
Today, we know very well that pure AD defined by plaques and tangles only is rare; in most cases, patients display mixed pathologies—AD as a pathological mélange of various forms of dementia. In addition, we know that tangles are seen in many other pathologies, called"tauopathies" as a disease group, and are also present in most regularly aged brains, and about 30 to 40 percent of the elderly with no cognitive impairment show amyloid deposits in their brain.
