  • Title: Neuropil threads occur in dendrites of tangle-bearing nerve cells.
    Author: Braak H, Braak E.
    Journal: Neuropathol Appl Neurobiol; 1988; 14(1):39-44. PubMed ID: 2453810.
    Abstract:
    Transparent Golgi preparations counterstained for Alzheimer's neurofibrillary changes rendered possible the demonstration of neuropil threads in defined cellular processes. Only dendrites of tangle-bearing cortical nerve cells were found to contain neuropil threads. Processes of glial cells as well as axons present in the material were devoid of neuropil threads.
