Locus coeruleus tau validates and informs high-resolution MRI in aging and at earliest Alzheimer’s pathology stages

Abstract The locus coeruleus (LC) has been identified as a site that develops phosphorylated tau pathology earlier than cerebral cortex. We present data using high-resolution postmortem MRI and validated tau histopathology in controls and the earliest Braak and Braak (BB) stages (BBI-BBII) in LC. Th...
