another form of alzheimer's is part p-a-r-t primary age-related taupopathy so we've talked about amyloid but what about tau how's another protein and there's tau and amyloid and neurofibrillary tangles and and then there's glucose hypometabolism meaning the glucose the sugar in the brain it's just not being efficiently able to be used to power the brain cells so depending on where the problem is you have different manifestations cognitive symptoms i guess and part for example is primary age-related tauopathy again one more time it's related to age so it's usually in older people easily 70s more likely 80s and 90s and it's specifically short-term memory and it's specifically because that pathology is localized to the memory centers in the brain uh the hippocampus for example
