So where is the money for neurodegenerative research going, and how close are we to a cure?

Unfortunately, not very.
In Alzheimer's theres a longer period of slow and difficult-to-measure decline, followed by a sharp dropoff of sudden decline. Research and drug development has stupidly chosen to focus on the later-stage sharp dropoff because the differences are easier to measure.
It's too late in the game at that point. What we need before we can do anything is efficient pickup of biomarkers so we can focus on the earlier stages.
