Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, is a degenerative brain disease linked to repetitive head trauma. Here's how it ...

The Amyloid—Tangle Connection. Aβ aggregates (green) hyper-excite neurons in tau epicenters and connected regions, strengthening that connectivity. This pushes tau propagation from one region to ...

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease defined by hyperphosphorylated tau (p-tau) protein accumulating in a particular pattern in specific regions of the brain.

In the paper, the researchers describe how they examined how aerobic exercise impacted the development of amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the hippocampus brain region of rats, as well as the ...

In Alzheimer’s the protein goes haywire, forming tangles that have been linked to cell damage and neuronal death. Tau tangles are one of the characteristic hallmarks of Alzheimer’s visible in ...

The research focused on the hippocampus, the brain region responsible for memory and learning, and measured the impact of aerobic exercise on key Alzheimer’s markers: amyloid plaques, tau tangles, and ...
