RESUMEN
Primary age?related tauopathy (PART) is a type of pathological change characterized by the deposition of tau protein in the brain confined to the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus (Braak stage 0-Ⅳ), with no or little amyloid?β protein (Aβ) deposition (Thal Aβ stage 0-2). In recent years, PART has received lots of attention, but its relationship with Alzheimer′s disease (AD) remains controversial. Therefore, strengthening the understanding of PART among clinicians and relevant researchers is of great value in interpretation of the relationship between brain aging and AD as well as other cognitive impairment diseases.
