No that is not enough, apparently you do not know what you are talking about.Timothy S said:"...tau instead of pi...", this was quoted verbatim from my original post. Is that not enough context for you dr?
Tau, also known as tau protein, is a type of protein found in the brain. It is primarily associated with the formation of neurofibrillary tangles, a hallmark feature of Alzheimer's disease. Tau has also been implicated in other neurodegenerative disorders.
The exact role of tau in the brain is not fully understood, but it is believed to play a role in stabilizing microtubules, which are involved in the transport of materials within neurons. Tau is also thought to regulate communication between nerve cells.
Tau can be measured in various ways, including through imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) and through cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis. Researchers may also use specialized antibodies to detect the presence of tau in tissue samples.
Tau has been linked to the development and progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Abnormal accumulation of tau protein can lead to the formation of neurofibrillary tangles, which contribute to cognitive decline and other symptoms of these disorders.
Researchers are actively studying ways to target tau protein in order to develop potential treatments for neurodegenerative diseases. This may include developing drugs that can reduce the amount of tau protein or prevent its abnormal accumulation in the brain.
