Are Tau PET Scans "Lighting Up" Too Much of the Brain in Alzheimer's Disease?

UCSF researchers use a rare combination of patient tau PET imaging plus detailed postmortem brain tissue mapping, to clarify the extent to which non-tau factors influence the tracer signal in PET scans. Their results help explain why these scans sometimes 'light up' beyond what tau pathology alone would predict and can help improve how scans are used for prognosis and trial decisions.
