Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In Alzheimer's disease (AD), neurodegeneration is primarily attributed to the accumulation of tau neurofibrillary tangles. However, the distribution patterns of both tau pathology and neurodegeneration vary across different brain regions and among individuals. Moreover, multiple factors may influence the relationship between tau burden and neurodegenerative processes. Identifying the genetic...
