Modeling regional vulnerability to Alzheimer pathology.
Latent growth curve (LGC) models estimate change over time in a cohort's serially obtained measurements. We have applied LGC techniques to a spatial distribution of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology using autopsy data from 435 participants in the Honolulu-Asia Aging Study. Neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) and neuritic plaques (NP) were distributed across differently ordered sets of anatomical regi...
متن کاملP 62: Markers of Neuroinflammation Related to Alzheimer\'s Disease Pathology in the Elderly
Alzheimer Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder and the most common form of dementia. Increasing evidence suggests that Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis is not restricted to the neuronal compartment, but includes strong interactions with immunological mechanisms in the brain. In vitro and animal studies have linked neuroinflammation to Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. Studies on marke...
متن کاملMolecular pathology of Alzheimer neurofibrillary
The most characteristic brain lesion of Alzheimer disease is the accumulation of paired helical filaments (PHF) in the affected neurons. Based on solubility in detergents there are two general populations of PHF, the readily soluble (PHF I) and the sparingly soluble (PHF 11) types. The major polypeptides of PHF are the microtubule associated protein tau. Tau in PHF is present in abnormally phos...
متن کاملRegional distribution of alpha-synuclein pathology in unimpaired aging and Alzheimer disease.
The amygdaloid complex (AC) was found highly vulnerable to alpha-synuclein (alphaS) pathology in both familial and sporadic Alzheimer disease (AD), and recently, incidental Lewy bodies (LBs) were identified primarily in the lower brainstem. This challenges the traditional view that the substantia nigra (SN) is the region that is predominately affected in the spectrum of LB disorders. We examine...
متن کاملTau Prion Strains Dictate Patterns of Cell Pathology, Progression Rate, and Regional Vulnerability In Vivo
Tauopathies are neurodegenerative disorders that affect distinct brain regions, progress at different rates, and exhibit specific patterns of tau accumulation. The source of this diversity is unknown. We previously characterized two tau strains that stably maintain unique conformations in vitro and in vivo, but did not determine the relationship of each strain to parameters that discriminate be...
