Tauopathies are a class of neurodegenerative diseases resulting from the pathological aggregation of tau protein[1] in so-called neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) in the human brain.
Some examples of tauopathies are:
- Frontotemporal dementia
- Alzheimer's disease
- Progressive supranuclear palsy
- Corticobasal degeneration
- Frontotemporal lobar degeneration, also known as Pick's disease
