Defining criteria
|
1.
|
Perivascular accumulation of abnormal hyperphosphorylated tau within neurons, astrocytes, and/or cell processes in the neocortex
|
2.
|
Irregular distribution of p-tau–immunoreactive cells and processes at the depths of cerebral sulci
|
Supportive criteria
|
3.
|
Macroscopic abnormalities in the septum pellucidum (cavum, fenestration), disproportionate dilation of the third ventricle or signs of previous brain injury
|
4.
|
Abnormal tau-immunoreactive neuronal lesions affecting the neocortex predominantly in superficial layers 2 and 3, as opposed to layers 3 and 5 as in AD
