Alzheimer's disease pathology is well characterized by neuroinflammation, neurofibrillary tangles, neuronal loss, and amyloid angiopathy. The exact pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease is unclear and is believed to be a common result of aging, genetic and environmental factors. Disease modification drugs of Alzheimer’s disease is the key development, including the drug for synaptic plasticity and neuroprotection, treatment for improvement of metabolic disorders and energy imbalance, target for inflammation and vascular factors. In addition, non-drug therapy including acoustic and light stimulation, rTMS, DBS, and cognitive rehabilitation training have all shown some efficacy in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. This special issue features the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, contributions of this field is welcomed.
