About this item
This volume is a companion to the highly successful book published in association with the Journal of Alzheimers Disease (JAD) on the centennial of Alzheimers discovery: Alzheimers Disease: A Century of Scientific and Clinical Research. Instead of looking back, this collection, Alzheimers Disease: Advances for a New Century, will look forward. Using scientometric analysis the most promising developments since the Alzheimer Centennial in 2006 have been substantiated. While prior trends and advances in genetics, amyloid-, tau, neuropathology, and oxidative stress continue as active areas, emergent areas impacting the transition from normal cognition to Alzheimers disease such as diagnostic imaging, biomarkers, metabolism, and lifestyle (areas conceived only a few years ago) now dominate the debate.
