5 1906: 37. Meeting of doctors for the insane of southwest Germany in Tübingen Alois Alzheimer reports about a peculiar affection of the cerebral cortex Auguste D. 2013: World Alzheimer Report 2013 AD most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide 36 mill. cases (2030: 77 mill. 2050: 135 mill.) Costs worldwide: 604 Bill. USD in 2010 (1% of the global GDP) 1,117 Bill USD in 2030

6 Histopathological findings reported by A. Alzheimer (1906) Miliary foci distributed all over the cortex, caused by the infiltration of a peculiar substance into the cortex Weird neurofibrillary changes, that appeared like very thick tangles filling not only the cell body but also neuronal processes Images C & D are from Holtzman et al. Sci Transl. Med. 2011, 3, 1-17
