Abstract excerpt
Argyrophilic grain disease (AGD) is a medial temporal 4R tauopathy with filamentous inclusions in dendrospinal portions of neurons. AGD is often associated with mild Alzheimer-type pathology, but it is difficult to detect AGD in the setting of advanced Alzheimer disease (AD). The frequency of AGD in AD has been difficult to determine because of masking of grains by neurofibrillary lesions. To address this issue,...
