Cortical and CBF neurons display NFT formation in the MCI brain [9,139,140], suggesting a concomitant alteration in tau gene expression during the early stage of AD. The adult human brain contains six tau isoforms ranging from 48 to 67 kDa, which are expressed through alternative splicing of a single tau gene on chromosome 17 [141,142]. Three of these tau isoforms contain three tandem repeats in the carboxy-terminus end of the molecule (3Rtau), while three isoforms display four tandem repeats (4Rtau) in this region. Expression levels of the six tau transcripts within CBF neurons do not differ significantly during the progression of AD [6]
