Study shows how tau spreads to four distinct patterns leading to different Alzheimer's symptoms

Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the abnormal accumulation and spread of the tau protein in the brain. An international study can now show how tau spreads according to four distinct patterns that lead to different symptoms with different prognoses of the affected individuals.
