Presented at #AAIC26 from @JAMA.com: #Amyloid clearance was most efficient in gyral crests, not sulcal depths, and correlated locally with reduced #tau #pathology and #neurodegeneration after aducanumab therapy in #AlzheimerDisease. ja.ma/3SYsxtZ

JAMA Figure 2: Clinicopathologic Evaluation of Amyloid Clearance in Alzheimer Disease. Panels A-C display beta-amyloid plaques & clearance in brain tissue; D-F show phosphorylated tau pathology, reactive microglia & astrocytes at various magnifications. Published July 12, 2026.

Really happy that the final paper of my PhD is out now! It was great to work on this project with Dave Wolk (@picslupenn.bsky.social) & @lemwisse.bsky.social and all others involved! See below for more information! 👇

🚨This study led by @anikawuestefeld.bsky.social aims to provide a more granular understanding of how tau pathology leads to specific cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease. 🧠 Out now in Alzheimer’s & Dementia! Read it here: doi.org/10.1002/alz.... 🧵👇
