Area of brain resistant to NFTs in Alzheimer's disease:
C i.e. Lateral geniculate body Alzheimer's disease, a type of coical dementia, does not involved sub coical areas such as lateral geniculate body (nucleus)- a pa of thalamusQ. Earliest and most severe degeneration is usually found in medial temporal lobe (entorhinal/ perirhinal coex & hippocampus), lateral temporal coex and nucleus basalis of MeyneQ. Area of visual association and cuneal gyrus (VI) are also coical areas.
