This shift in thinking marks a promising evolution in the field, signaling a renewed openness to exploring different paths towards understanding and ultimately conquering Alzheimer’s disease. It calls on the scientific community to not be swayed by the allure of a single, dominant theory, but rather to embrace the multiplicity of ideas that can collectively bring us closer to solving the Alzheimer’s puzzle.
