摘要
Recent findings have suggested that tau pathology may spread in the brain by a prion-like mechanism. In this issue of Neuron, de Calignon et al. (2012) recreated an early stage of neurofibrillary tangle pathology to show that tau aggregates initially generated in a circumscribed area spread throughout the brain and lead to neurodegeneration.
