A new study from Karolinska Institutet has shown that the amount and distribution of the tau protein in the brain differs between early- and late-onset Alzheimer's disease. The results also indicate that blood tests do not always reflect changes in the brain. The research is published in the European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging.
