A brief description is given of neurofibrillary changes of the paired helical filament type in a variety of chronic neurological diseases. These include subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, lead encephalopathy, tuberous sclerosis, Down syndrome, Hallervorden‐Spatz disease, and lipofuscinosis. In these conditions, with the exception of Hallervorden‐Spatz disease, neurofibrillary changes were previously recognized but paired helical filaments were identified only in some cases. Moreover, in the… Expand

The Nature of Neurofibrillary Tangles
Dementia of the Alzheimer type (ATD), both presenile and senile, has a characteristic brain histopathology comprising neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), senile plaques, granulovacuolar bodies and Hirano… Expand
Neurofibrillary pathology in progressive supranuclear palsy
TLDR
The fine structure of the subcortical neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) in 2 cases of progressive supranuclear palsy suggests that the NFT in PSP may be similar to those of Alzheimer type occurring in various conditions. Expand
Neuroaxonal dystrophy with neuromelanin deposition, neurofibrillary tangles, and neuronal loss
TLDR
In the authors' opinion the fine floccular pigment seen electron-microscopically in many of the axonal spheroids is melanin, an end product of catecholamine metabolism. Expand
Neurofibrillary tangles, granulovacuolar degeneration, and neuron loss in down syndrome: Quantitative comparison with alzheimer dementia
The degree of neurofibrillary tangle formation, granulovacuolar degeneration, and nerve cell loss was quantified in serial sections of the hippocampal formation from the brains of 5 adults dying with… Expand
Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease with plaques and paired helical filaments
TLDR
This patient had features of both Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease and Alzheimer's disease, providing additional support for the existence of an overlap between these disorders. Expand
Cerebellar plaques in familial Alzheimer's disease (Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker variant?)
A large kindred, with two brothers coming to autopsy, of a syndrome consisting of ataxia, dementia, and some Parkinsonian features is reported; inheritance appears to be autosomal dominant.… Expand
Tau-reactive neurofibrillary tangles in cerebellar cortex from patients with Alzheimer's disease
TLDR
In 4 cases of Alzheimer's disease a tau antiserum immunostained thin, round or flame-shaped profiles disposed around the nuclei of the cerebellar fusiform-type Golgi cells, indicating that in AD the NFT formation is more diffuse than that showed with conventional histological methods. Expand
Neuropathology of Alzheimer's disease.
TLDR
The most important neuropathologic features of Alzheimer's disease, including amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, neuronal loss, synaptic depletion, cerebralAmyloid angiopathy, Hirano bodies, and granulovacuolar degeneration are summarized. Expand
Neurofibrillary tangle predominant form of senile dementia of Alzheimer type: a rare subtype in very old subjects
TLDR
This rare subtype occurring in very old (over 80 years of age) subjects that does not fall within the currently used neuropathological criteria for diagnosis of AD warrants further clinico-pathological documentation. Expand
Ganglioglioma with neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs): neoplastic NFTs share antigenic determinants with NFTs of Alzheimer's disease
TLDR
The demonstration in the neoplasm of abnormally phosphorylated and ubiquitinated cytoskeletal components, similar in morphology and in immunoreactivity to those seen in NFTs of Alzheimer's disease, suggest that similar pathogenetic mechanisms may operate in both conditions. Expand

The clinical picture of juvenile amaurotic idiocy was originally described in Norway by Stengel in 1826 and held the opinion that a definite diagnosis could be based on the clinical picture alone, because this was exactly the same from case to case. Expand

On the basis of the morphological and biochemical evidence, several approaches to the experimental study of neurofibrillary pathology are proposed and the emphasis on the normal neurofibillary structures being single forms of pleomorphic proteins is placed. Expand

One group of manifestations in the clinical neuropsychiatric picture as probably due to inflammatory processes was considered, which seemed to be merely "toxic," which term refers especially to some patients with symptomatic psychotic behavior; but the term toxic should be subjected to analysis.
