Neurofibrillary tangles
answer
in AD, these fibers twist and tangle causing the neuron to lose its shape and also become unable to transport nutrients within the neurons. The tangles remain in the brain after dead neurons has been cleared away.

answer
In AD these are usually found in the cerebral cortex and in the temporal lobe strutters. They are composed mainly of tau protein. Tua protein can also be found in other neurologic disorders.

are seen in substantial nigra (Parkinsonism),cerebral cortex (Dementia pugilistic, punch drunk syndrome), and the brain stem and thalamus (progressive supranuclear palsy)
