Multimodal Atlas of Caudate Head Reveals Impact of pTau Burden on Resident Glial Cells

AD's impact in caudate head contrasts with established effects on the cortex. Regionally unique increases in certain non-neuronal populations suggest a caudate specific response to AD. Additionally, little neuronal loss, even with respect to significant pTau pathology suggests either environmental or cellular factors that confer resilience, or distinct pTau conditions in the caudate. Finally, our data suggests that the predominantly diffuse plaques in caudate are not sufficient for a plaque induced response in microglia.

Abstract

AD's impact in caudate head contrasts with established effects on the cortex. Regionally unique increases in certain non-neuronal populations suggest a caudate specific response to AD. Additionally, little neuronal loss, even with respect to significant pTau pathology suggests either environmental or cellular factors that confer resilience, or distinct pTau conditions in the caudate. Finally, our data suggests that the predominantly diffuse plaques in caudate are not sufficient for a plaque induced response in microglia.
