About this Research Topic
Over the last decade, there has been growing interest and important developments in Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias research. These advances have been fostered by improvements in the research techniques that enable us to gather insights from different approaches, together with the need to better understand the field in order to achieve our mission to live healthy lives on a healthy planet.
Whilst the community can be proud of major advances, there is still a long way to go. In this Research Topic, we encourage researchers to summarize the state of the art and the main challenges the field Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias research is facing. We also welcome contributions that look into the future and define the directions that the field will take in the coming years. What have been the key discoveries so far? What are the most pressing matters that need to be addressed? Where is Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias research going to take us in the coming years?
The Research Topic will welcome submissions including but not limited to:
• Diagnosis and treatment of fundamental pathophysiology of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias
• Delineation of molecular pathways and mechanisms that contribute to the development of dementia
• Neural mapping of neurocognitive mechanisms that are responsible for the development of dementia
• Preventative methods of early diagnosis of dementia
• Insights into effective treatments for early and late-stage dementias
This collection will serve as a basis to define the state of the art at the end of the first decade of the XXI century, and define the progress that needs to be made in the next decade. We encourage authors to contribute with review articles or perspectives. However, all article types are welcomed.
