In pairs of identical twins, tau tangles accumulate in strikingly similar patterns, but stage of #alzheimersdisease and lifestyle can still make a difference. @vuamsterdam ow.ly/e1Tc50HCIZM

In #Alzheimers disease, levels of CSF tau are related to neuronal plasticity protein concentration. Individuals with high tau show increased levels of these proteins while those with normal tau have decreased levels. Perhaps treatment of AD must differ depending on tau levels?
