They have shaped Alzheimer disease: the protagonists, well known and less well known

François Boller et al. Cortex. 2007 May.

Abstract

This paper discusses the history of dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD) with emphasis on the individuals who have shaped its development. In addition to the best known protagonists recognized as founders of the field, it will mention other figures who have provided important contributions but are sometimes overlooked. Many of these have also become famous for work unrelated to AD.
