While the spread of p-tau does not necessarily require the presence of Aβ, there is a significant trend of thought leaning toward the concept that Aβ plaque deposition boosts NFT propagation (albeit occurring along different trajectories) in ADNC, and some have suggested neuron-to-neuron, prion-like mechanisms of spread [ 34 , 73 , 79 ].
