By 2050, the number of people age 65 and older with Alzheimer's may grow to a projected 12.7 million, barring the development of medical breakthroughs to prevent or cure Alzheimer's disease. Now is the high time to take step to close the gap in our understanding of these conditions. We need to spread more public awareness so that they can come to seek out intervention in the earliest hours of disease onset.
