To test the hypothesis that the propagation of tau is facilitated by microstructural alterations in white-matter tracts, we applied a data driven approach to study the “upstream tau – tract alteration – downstream tau” associations throughout the whole brain using tau positron emission tomography (tau-PET) and diffusion MRI (dMRI). The discovered pathways of spread support the characteristic pattern observed in Braak staging.
