Ltd., Yongin, Korea 3Barun Lab Inc., Yongin, Korea 4Department of Business Administration, Cheongju University, Cheongju, Korea 5Boston Research Institute for Medical Policy, Yongin, Korea As modern society ages rapidly, the number of people with dementia is sharply increasing. Direct medical costs and indirect social costs for dementia patients are also increasing exponentially. However, the lack of social awareness about dementia results in difficulties to dementia patients and their families. So, understanding dementia is the first step to remove or reduce the stigma of dementia patients and promote the health of our community. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia. The term, ‘Alzheimer’s disease’ has been used for over 100 years since first used in 1910. With the remarkable growth of science and medical technologies, the techniques for diagnosis and treat- ment of dementia have also improved. Although the effects of the current symptomatic therapy are still limited, dramatic improvement is ex- pected in the future through the continued research on disease modifying strategies at the earlier stage of disease. It is important to look at the past to understand the present and obtain an insight into the future. In this article, we review the etymology and history of dementia and pre- vious modes of recognizing dementia.

  • Kraepelin Revisited: Schizophrenia from Degeneration to Failed Regeneration
    Molecular Psychiatry (2015) 20, 671–676 © 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1359-4184/15 www.nature.com/mp REVIEW Kraepelin revisited: schizophrenia from degeneration to failed regeneration P Falkai1, MJ Rossner1,2, TG Schulze3, A Hasan1, MM Brzózka1, B Malchow1, WG Honer4 and A Schmitt1,5 One hundred years after its conceptual definition as ‘Dementia Praecox’ by Emil Kraepelin, schizophrenia is still a serious psychiatric illness that affects young adults and leads to disability in at least half of patients. The key treatment issue is partial or non-response, especially of negative symptoms. The illness is also associated with different degrees of cognitive dysfunction, particularly in verbal and working memory; the resulting functional impairment may lead to unemployment and an inability to maintain stable relationships. Patients’ cognitive dysfunction led Kraepelin to the assumption that schizophrenia is a form of juvenile dementia caused by a degenerative process of the human brain. Postmortem studies and a plethora of imaging studies do not support the notion of a degenerative process, but such a process is supported by the recently published, largest genome-wide association study on schizophrenia. More than a 100 hits were described, converging on pathways that have a significant role in dopamine metabolism in immune modulation, calcium signalling and synaptic plasticity. This review suggests that research should focus on animal models based on risk genes like transcription factor 4 and study the effects of exposure to environmental stressors relevant for schizophrenia. The use of relevant end points like pre-pulse inhibition or cognitive dysfunction will allow us to gain an understanding of the molecular pathways in schizophrenia and consequently result in improved treatment options, especially for the disabling aspects of this illness.
