An authority on Alzheimer's disease offers a history of past failures and a roadmap that points us in a new direction in our journey to a cure. For decades some of our best and brightest medical scientists have dedicated themselves to finding a cure for Alzheimer's disease. What happened? Where is the cure? The biggest breakthroughs occurred twenty-five years ago with little progress since. In How Not to Study a Disease neurobiologist Karl Herrup explains why the Alzheimer's discoveries of the 1990s didn't bear fruit and maps a direction for future research. Herrup describes the research explains what's taking so long and offers an approach for resetting future research. Herrup offers a unique insider's perspective describing the red flags that science ignored in the rush to find a cure. He is unsparing in calling out the stubbornness greed and bad advice that has hamstrung the field but his final message is a largely optimistic one. Herrup presents a new and sweeping vision of the field that includes a redefinition of the disease and a fresh conceptualization of aging and dementia that asks us to imagine the brain as a series of interconnected neighborhoods. He calls for changes in virtually every aspect of the Alzheimer's disease research effort from the drug development process to the mechanisms of support for basic research to the often-overlooked role of the scientific media and more. With How Not to Study a Disease Herrup provides a roadmap that points us in a new direction in our journey to a cure for Alzheimer's.
