Caption
High accumulation of tau in the brain measured by a PET scanner was the only biomarker that could predict cognitive decline in healthy individuals, people with mild cognitive impairment and people with Alzheimer’s dementia. People with high tau levels in the brain also had high levels of amyloid plaques, while people with high levels of amyloid plaques did not necessarily have high tau levels.
