The focus of the 2008 Leon Thal Symposium was to identify issues and changes that might be facilitated by government agencies, industry, or the academic research community that might move the field forward: “Big Asks” for fundamental shifts in the way we deal with Alzheimer's disease (AD) research. These items are therefore aimed at macro rather than molecular changes, but their impact will carry to the molecular level of research to increase our understanding of etiology and treatment of AD and associated disorders.
