Braak staging in AD has six stages — I through VI. The staging focuses on the location of NFTs. Stages I and II are when the NFTs are limited to the transentorhinal region of the brain. Stages III and IV are when the NFTs are in the limbic regions, which includes the hippocampus.

PHF tau tangles. Tangles · Neurofibrillary Braak Stage is a semiquantitative measure of severity of neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) pathology. Bielschowsky silver

The combination of the neurofibrillary tangles and destabilized microtubules result in disruption of processes such as axonal transport and neural communication. The degree of NFT involvement in AD is defined by Braak stages. Braak staging, a framework for staging tau pathology in post-mortem tissue based on density and topology of tau, may now be used to stage tau pathology in vivo. The current proposal is designed to elucidate the temporal dynamics of AD pathology, especially tau, and associated functional connectivity changes in cognitively healthy older adults. The majority (66%) also met criteria for Braak Stage I/II levels of tau neurofibrillary tangles, which reflect early-stage tau pathology localized to the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus (Braak and Braak, 1991). Braak staging in AD has six stages — I through VI. The staging focuses on the location of NFTs.

Braak stages of tau pathology, derived from cross-sectional data, propose how AD-related tau pathology may begin in medial temporal structures, namely transentorhinal cortex, then extend to limbic areas of medial and inferior temporal lobe, to posterior cingulate cortex, and then widely into isocortical brain areas. Fifty-eight cases had subcortical tau predominantly in the locus coeruleus, but there was no abnormal cortical tau (subcortical Stages a-c). Cortical involvement (abnormal tau in neurites) was identified first in the transentorhinal region (Stage 1a, 38 cases). Transentorhinal pyramidal cells displayed pretangle material (Stage 1b, 236 cases). Phosphorylation at tau Ser202/Thr205 is well characterized since labeling of this site is used to assign Braak stage based on occurrence of neurofibrillary tangles. Only little is known about the spatial and temporal phosphorylation profile of other phosphorylated tau (ptau) sites.

Braak staging, Aβ plaque and neurofibrillary tangle counts, and semiquantitative tau lesion scores were performed. Flortaucipir standard uptake value ratios (SUVRs) were calculated in a temporal meta region of interest (meta‐ROI), entorhinal cortex and cortical/subcortical regions selected to match the tau lesion analysis.

Several in vitro and in vivo studies have examined the ability of tau pathology to move from one neuron to the next, suggesting a "prion-like" spread of tau aggregates may be an underlying cause of Braak tau staging in AD. Using the HEK293 Tau RD-P301S-CFP/YFP expressing biosensor cells as a highly sensitive and specific tool to identify the presence of seed competent aggregated tau in brain lysate-i.e., tau aggregates that are capable of recruiting and misfolding monomeric tau …

The Braak staging scheme focused on neurofibrillary tangles, butabundant p-tau is also present in neuropil threads, and a recent scheme has been proposed by theBrainNet Europe consortium for staging tau pathology based on neuropil threads. We determined therelationship of threads to tangles, and the value of In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the Braak staging scheme suggests a stereotypical tau spreading pattern that does, however, not capture interindividual variability in tau deposition.

Only little is known about the spatial and temporal phosphorylation profile of other phosphorylated tau (ptau) sites. Microtubules also destabilize when tau is dissociated. The combination of the neurofibrillary tangles and destabilized microtubules result in disruption of processes such as axonal transport and neural communication.

The current proposal is designed to elucidate the temporal dynamics of AD pathology, especially tau, and associated functional connectivity changes in cognitively healthy older adults. 2016-03-14 The TauRx research team built on the findings of Braak and demonstrated a strong correlation between the degree of tau protein neurofibrillary pathology in the brain as measured using Braak staging, the amount of aggregated tau in pre-tangle brain regions and the degree of cognitive incapacitation as measured by scores on the mini mental state exam (MMSE).
