Interesting that most of the drugs in development to treat Alzheimer's is focused on the plaques that build up in the human brain over the years. It has not been proven conclusively that the plaques are in fact the mechanism by which Alzheimer's degrades memory formation. It may be a symptom instead of a cause in which case all of these drugs being developed will be virtually useless.

Very interesting read with lots of material about the latest research on Alzheimer's.
One thing that caught my attention was the findings of how education correlates with developing Alzheimer's.
"Those who stop at or before grade 8 have about double the risk of those that complete high school, who in turn are at greater risk than those who complete university and so on."
