Background
The microtubial-associated protein TAU (MAPT), more commonly known as TAU, is is normally a highly soluble protein found predominantly in neurons (1), but accumulations of highly phosphorylated tau protein aggregates are observed in several neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, and frontotemporal lobar dementia. It was thought that these pathological tau aggregates were the toxic form of tau, but recent studies indicate that soluble and highly phosphorylated tau species are more closely associated with synaptic dysfunction and cell loss (2,3) . Mutations in the TAU gene have also been associated with several of these neurodegenerative diseases (4) .
