Tau proteins play an important role in Alzheimer's disease. Tau helps to stabilize neurons in the brain, but in Alzheimer's disease, tau proteins can misfold and tangle inside neurons. These tangles ...
Neuroscientists have discovered that the slowing of the peak alpha frequency in the brains of elderly people is not necessarily a sign of a brain disorder 1. Instead, scans reveal how a human brain ...
Researchers use AI and postmortem tissue to reveal that tau PET scans are often influenced by iron and neuroinflammation rather than tau tangles alone.
Tau proteins play an important role in our normal brain function, mainly by helping to stabilize neurons in the brain. But in Alzheimer’s disease, tau proteins can misfold and tangle inside neurons.
