      A large fraction of genetic risk factors for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is still not identified, limiting the understanding of AD pathology and study of therapeutic targets. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of AD cases and controls of European descent from the multi-center DemGene network across Norway and two independent European cohorts. In a two-stage process, we first performed ...

      The concepts of time and space as they are treated in the realist interpretation of Einstein's theory of Special Relativity are investigated and found wanting in coherence.
