One of the hottest topics in current Alzheimer’s research is brain scans that visualize tau pathology in living people. With the advent of positron emission tomography (PET) tracers that label neurofibrillary tangles, researchers are now able to "see" and quantify both hallmark pathologies defined by Alois Alzheimer in 1906: amyloid plaques and tau tangles. Tau tracers dominated the agenda when 340 researchers convened in Miami Beach, Florida, recently to debate the current edge in human amyloid imaging.
