Braak staging Braak staging A system formulated in 1991 by Drs. Braak and Braak (Acta Neuropathologica Berl—82:239-259) for staging the severity of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), based on the premise that AD pathology—specifically neurofibrillary tangles—evolve in stages and locations, beginning in the mesial temporal lobe (stages 1 and 2) and extending to the limbic regions (stages 3 and 4)—at which point dementia manifests itself clinically—ending in the neocortex (stages 5 and 6). |
