Alzheimer's disease afflicts up to 1 in 5 people over the age of 65
years and causes untold suffering of the patient and their family.
The cause of this disease is unknown; indeed, evidence increasingly
suggests that there may be multiple Alzheimer-type syndromes with
different etiologies, analogous to different types of psychosis.
Currently there are no means to prevent the disease, slow its
progress or reverse its neurodegenerative consequences. With few
exceptions, clinical trials of a variety of compounds have resulted
in patient responses that are disappointing with respect to both
the proportion of responders and the magnitude of the responses.
Novel approaches to the treatment of Alzheimer's disease are
clearly warranted. For this reason, we organized the First Suncoast
Workshop on the Neurobiology of Aging in St. Petersburg, Florida,
which took place from February 26-March 1, 1989. This workshop
focused on novel treatments and models for Alzheimer's disease and
represented a cooperative venture among academia, government and
industry, both in its participants and sponsorship. The Center for
the Neurobiology of Aging at the University of Florida, the
National Institute on Aging and Taiho Pharmaceutical Corporation in
Japan sponsored the workshop in which scientists from the North
America, Europe, Japan and other parts of Asia participated.
