  AIM to Get Better at Understanding Dementia Blog #3 Alzheimer’s Disease: Where are we with drug treatments? On 10 th  December, I attended an online webinar, hosted by  Alzheimer’s Disease International . It was their inaugural “End of Year Forecast” webinar, entitled “ Translating the Alzheimer's Treatment Revolution into Real World Solutions” Professor Jeff Cummings is possibly one of the most intelligent humans on the planet yet he explained very complex issues around current and future drug treatments for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) in a way that even I understood! It probably helped that his amazing accent reminded me of “Deputy Dog” (for those of you old enough to remember the 1970’s cartoon character) and therefore very easy to listen to! I have tried to use the same language he used in my notes below. If you would prefer a more academic overview, you can read the academic paper on which his talk was based by using the link below: https://alz-journals.online...
