title: Aging, mild cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer's disease.
abstract: Research in the field of aging and dementia is moving forward at a rapid pace, in both basic biology of dementing disorders and clinical investigations. These two approaches to research on aging and dementia need to advance in parallel, such that when work on the pathophysiology of these disorders is translated into therapeutic practice, the appropriately characterized clinical cohorts will be available for therapeutic trials of these treatment strategies.
