Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by fibrillary aggregates of Aβ peptide and tau protein. The distribution of these pathological hallmarks throughout the brain is not random; it follows a predictive pattern that is used for pathological staging. However, most etiopathogenetic concepts, irrespective of whether they focus on Aβ or tau pathology, leave a key question unanswered:...
