What is the evidence that tau pathology spreads through prion-like propagation?
Abstract Emerging experimental evidence suggests that the spread of tau pathology in the brain in Tauopathies reflects the propagation of abnormal tau species along neuroanatomically connected brain areas. This propagation could occur through a “prion-like” mechanism involving transfer of abnormal t...
