Does that mean everything we know or at least thought we knew about Alzheimer's is actually fraught with major error and we need to go back to the drawing board? Because my initial education on the Alzheimer's disease model is amyloid hypothesis, tau protein, other conditions, vascular dementia being looped into it.

Does that mean we actually have no idea where we are with Alzheimer's or is there some truth still in these original hypotheses?

I think that many scientists would say that Alzheimer's is a multifactorial disease. So there could be a lot of reasons why dementia occurs. I think even the critics of the amyloid hypothesis, many of them would say amyloid proteins, tau proteins, as you mentioned, which is another protein that occurs inside the neurons in the brain, that they're connected with the disease.

And these, of course, are the signature markings that the so-called discoverer of Alzheimer's disease, Al Wah, Alzheimer's, from Germany back more than 100 years ago, these were things that he noticed. And so I think it's clear that there's something going on there. What I think is less well understood is the relationship of that to other factors.

And I think many scientists are now saying we need to look at possible infections. We need to look at inflammation in the brain that might be caused by a variety of sources. And we need to look at new thinking about repurposing certain drugs that might have proved effective for other disorders that might be more rapidly developed into something that could possibly be useful in Alzheimer's disease.

So there's a lot of ideas out there. But I would not say throw out all the things we've learned.

I have to say that it's been troubling to me that sometimes articles that I've written have been seized upon by people who I do not think are interested in developing our scientific institutions in a way that they are more effective, but are more interested in tearing them down, perhaps for political reasons.
