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

“…When trained on data from amyloid-𝛽 positive and negative subjects, the neural network clearly distinguishes between both groups and uncovers a more subtle relationship between amyloid-𝛽 and tau than previously postulated. In line with the amyloid-tau dual pathway hypothesis, our results show that the presence of toxic amyloid-𝛽 influences the accumulation of tau, particularly in the earlier disease stages. …”
