Let's Make Alzheimer's a Distant Memory
Every 65 seconds someone in the United States develops Alzheimer’s disease. It’s the only disease among the nation’s top 10 leading causes of death that has no treatment, prevention, or cure. The vision of the UW Initiative to End Alzheimer’s is to improve early and accurate diagnosis, treatment, and care for people with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. At the same time, UW researchers are focusing on the long-term goal of preventing Alzheimer’s disease. These researchers are part of a network of Alzheimer’s Disease Research Centers across the country and collaborate internationally. Nearly 5,000 Wisconsinites are currently enrolled in Alzheimer’s disease research studies at UW–Madison. By using innovative brain imaging, UW scientists have painstakingly traced the progression of the unique brain plaques and tangles associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
