USC researchers have found a promising new brain scan marker that could better detect Alzheimer’s risk — but only for some.

The team used a special type of brain scan called tau PET, which tracks a protein known as tau that builds up in the brain ...

Scientists at UCSF combined advanced brain-network modeling, genetics, and imaging to reveal how tau protein travels through ...

It's been recognized for some time that Alzheimer's disease affects brain regions differently and that tau—a protein known to ...

Alzheimer's disease is known to affect the brain in stages. While amyloid plaques often build up early, tau tangles are more closely tied to memory loss and other symptoms.

Using brain gene expression maps from the Allen Human Brain Atlas, the researchers tested the degree to which Alzheimer’s risk genes explain the patterns of both actual and residual tau. This allowed ...
