Network interdigitations of Tau and amyloid-beta deposits define cognitive levels in aging

Amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles are pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD); their contribution to neurodegeneration and clinical manifestations are critical in understanding preclinical AD. At present, the mechanisms related to Aβ and tau pathogenesis leadi...

We observed that the PET uptakes derived from Aß-to-Tau interdigitations were significantly associated with Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale in AD vulnerable brain areas, a finding confirmed by our longitudinal investigation.
