Timeline

2011

In 2011, AD clinical detection and treatment research took a major step forward when a joint committee of experts reviewed earlier studies and reached a groundbreaking conclusion .

1984

In 1984, the identification of the beta-amyloid protein in the blood vessels of patients with Down syndrome and AD suggested that the 21st chromosome (present in an extra copy in people with Down syndrome), might hold clues to understanding AD’s pathology.

1980

The American neurologist, Robert Katzman, suggested in 1976 that we should do away with the age distinction that separated pre-senile from senile dementia of the Alzheimer’s type and by the early 1980’s AD was widely recognized as the most common cause of dementia in older adults.

1960

In the late 1960’s, the British psychiatrists Tomlinson and Roth described the importance of these plaques in older adults, and in 1970 Dr. Roth questioned the meaningfulness of the age criterion that distinguished AD from “senile dementia of the Alzheimer’s type.”

1910

Alzheimer later published his descriptions of several similar patients in 1909 and Kraepelin included Ms. Deter’s case in the 1910 edition of his widely respected psychiatry textbook. It was Kraepelin who named this dementia after his junior colleague.
