Abstract

The article examines evaluation and nomenclature of aging-related tau astrogliopathy which occurs usually in individuals over 60 years of age. It states that the astrocytes include thorn-shaped astrocytes in white matter and at the glia limitans. It mentions that anatomical distribution and morphology shows the condition can be distinguished from primary tauopathies and recommends four steps to evaluate the condition.
