Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a grand challenge. It’s common, affecting about 10% of the population; it’s expensive, costing the nation nearly ${\$}$
350 billion in 2023; and it often causes years of suffering for patients and their loved ones [1]
. Other age-related neurodegenerative conditions, such as vascular dementia and Parkinson’s disease, also continue to pose problems, both for patients and society as a whole.
