Three F.D.A. Advisers Resign Over Agency's Approval of Alzheimer's Drug

researchers have been following since 2014. There were several cases where the post-mortem brain autopsy and the deceased's mental capacity did not "match up". That is, one person whose brain was full of the plaques and tangles associated with Alzheimer's was sharp as a tack until his death. Another person's brain was completely absent these same markers yet he had had severe dementia that was thought to be Alzheimer's.

It's possible this drug might help some and be completely useless or counterproductive in others. Jmho, but part of the problem is the increasing tendency for general dementia to be labled as Alzheimers when that's not necessarily the case. There's still a lot of study to be done on the deterioration of brain function and its causes.
