Book Review: Alzheimer's Disease Research: What has guided research so far and why it is high time for a paradigm shift (Christian Behl. Springer Nature, Switzerland, 2023) 661  pp.

This is a review of a recently published book entitled ‘Alzheimer's Disease Research: What has guided research so far and why it is high time for a paradigm shift’ (book cover shown in the graphic) by Christian Behl, a leading contributor to the field of Alzheimer disease over the last three decades. It presents a personal viewpoint on the historica l developments in dementia research and therapeutics from its early beginnings through to the current day. The conflicting hypotheses, the therapeutic trials, the successes and the failures of the vast research infrastructure devoted to dissecting the aberrant pathways underlying the inexorable prog ression of this ultimately fatal neurodegenerative disease are discussed. It is based, among others, on numerous personal discussions of the author with other leading researchers in the field, and thus gives this (hi)story of Alzheimer research a personal touch and spotlight on controversies that di stinguishes it from other books in the field.
