Tau accumulation in the nucleus accumbens in tangle-predominant dementia

Table 3 Summary of the semiquantitative grading of tau accumulation

	Braak stage	No. of cases	Acb	Caudate nucleus	Septal nucleus	CA1	Ent	Temp
TPD	III-IV	7	2.6	0.7	2.2	3	2.57	0.4
Non-demented	I-II	3	0	0	0	0.67	1	0
Non-demented	III	8	1.13	0.25	0.63	1.38	2	1
AD	IV	10	1.2	0.6	1.4	2.67	3	1.4
	V	8	0.9	0.9	1.3	2.89	2.9	2.5
	VI	4	1.3	1.3	1.7	3	3	3

The numbers indicate averages of the scores in each group. The degree of tau pathology was qualitatively scored as 0: absent 1: low 2: intermediate 3: high.
TPD, Tangle predominant dementia; AD, Alzheimer’s disease; NFT, Neurofibrillary tangles; Acb, nucl. Accumbens; CA1, Hippocampal CA1 region; Ent, Entorhinal cortex; Tmep, Temporal neocortex.
