December 19(th) 2015 marks the centennial anniversary of the death of the great Bavarian psychiatrist and neuropathologist, Alois Alzheimer (1864-1915), a man immortalised by the still incurable dementing process described by him in 1906 and firmly established in his name. Notwithstanding the great wealth of research into the history of Alzheimer's disease and legacy, the life of this exemplary clinician remains less than widely appreciated today, and it is the purpose of this brief reminiscence to retell the story of the pioneering neuropsychiatrist in this centenary year of his passing.
2015年12月19日是伟大的巴伐利亚精神病学家和神经病理学家阿洛伊斯·阿尔茨海默（1864 - 1915）逝世一百周年纪念日。他因1906年所描述的至今仍无法治愈的痴呆过程而名垂千古，该病症也以他的名字被牢固确立。尽管对阿尔茨海默病的历史和遗产已有大量研究，但这位杰出临床医生的生平在今天仍未得到广泛了解。在他逝世一百周年之际，这篇简短的回忆录旨在重述这位开创性神经精神病学家的故事。
