這是什麼
Tau normally helps stabilize microtubules, but abnormal changes in Alzheimer disease can lead tau to form tangles inside neurons.[1]
為什麼重要
Tau tangles can interfere with neuronal transport systems and synaptic communication.[1]
它會影響哪些判斷
- Abnormal tau tends to accumulate in memory-related brain regions and can spread as Alzheimer disease progresses.[1]
解讀陷阱
- Alzheimer disease is not only tau or only amyloid; NIA describes a complex interplay among tau, beta-amyloid, and other factors.[1]
