Abstrakt: A new study conducted at Columbia University Medical Center explores the association between two proteins, tau and amyloid, in Alzheimer's disease. The researchers used positron emission tomography (PET) scans to examine the spatial relationship between tau and amyloid in the brains of elderly individuals. They found that certain regions of the brain, particularly the entorhinal cortex and parahippocampal regions, showed a strong remote association with amyloid in the early stages of tau accumulation. Understanding this association is crucial for understanding the progression of Alzheimer's disease and its impact on specific brain regions. [Extracted from the article]
