Two for tau: automated model discovery reveals two-stage tau aggregation dynamics in Alzheimer’s disease by Stockman, CA, Goriely, A, Kuhl, E, Jerusalem, A, Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative

“…We propose an innovative approach that uses constitutive neural networks to autonomously discover bell-shaped aggregation functions with multiple peaks from clinical positron emission tomography (PET) data of misfolded tau protein. Our method reveals previously overlooked two-stage aggregation dynamics by uncovering a twoterm ordinary differential equation that links the local accumulation rate to the tau concentration. …”
