Description

Tevy Chan and co-authors study an odd scan pattern in a 2025 Alzheimer's paper. Some people show high tau signal on brain scans without the amyloid buildup that usually pairs with it. That pattern may mark a distinct age related condition driven by tau alone. The team profiled blood markers in people with this pattern to see how they differ.

Blood readouts could sort these cases without a costly scan. They may also show whether the tau only pattern carries the same risk as full Alzheimer's change. The work draws on a large Montreal based cohort and its stored samples. Sorting scan patterns by blood tests would help clinics judge what a lone tau signal means for a patient.
