Dementia Japan 24: 1-9, 2010

Asking myself

    For the memory of stepping down from the president of Japan Society for Dementia Research, I have written down several questions that I currently have and some speculations.  It is likely that the life span continues to extend, and we may encounter unusual diseases that have never been seen in the past.  When our life span reaches 90 years, tangle-only dementia could become prevalent.
