This test, which could also lead the way to new drug treatments for Alzheimer's, incorporates some of the latest theories about how the disease gets started, and the best ways to treat it.

One of Target's most successful units is in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood, and studies suggest there's $1.3 billion in untapped spending on the city's North Side and West Side alone.
