MAPT and Alzheimer disease: Further work is needed to sufficiently delineate which areas of the amygdala might be more involved in early AD, but in both brain samples analyzed here, basolateral and basomedial regions of the amygdala, often classified together with the lateral nucleus as “core” amygdala (Sheline et al., 1998), demonstrated higher tau densities as those adjacent to the ERC (Fig. 10).
