Tau is an outstanding biochemical marker of neurofibrillary degeneration (NFD), well correlated with clinical manifestations.Tauopathies are a class of neurodegenerative diseases associated with the pathological aggregation of tau protein in the human brain. Tau pathology concerns many familial or sporadic neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal degeneration (CBD), Pick's disease (PiD), FTDP-17, myotonic dystrophy (MyoD), and many other diseases. Tau pathology is suspected to accumulate first in the Lateral Entorhinal Cortex (LEC) and then spread to other sites in the medial temporal lobe, such as the perirhinal cortex, as well as neocortical sites such as the posterior cingulate cortex.
Journal Article is sometimes called a Scientific Article, a Peer-Reviewed Article, or a Scholarly Research Article. Together, journal articles in a particular field are often referred to as The Literature.
Journal articles are most often Primary Research Articles. However, they can also be Review Articles. These types of articles have different aims and requirements. Sometimes, an article describes a new tool or method.
Because articles in scientific journals are specific, meticulously cited and peer-reviewed, journal databases are the best place to look for information on previous research on your species. Without a background in the field, journal articles may be hard to understand - however, you do not need to understand an entire article to be able to get valuable information from it.
