What determines whether environmental factors cause tauopathy versus other neurodegenerative pathologies?

OPEN

The abstract mentions environmental tauopathies like chronic traumatic encephalopathy and geographically isolated cases, but doesn't explain why certain environmental exposures specifically trigger tau pathology. This knowledge gap limits understanding of disease etiology and prevention strategies. Gap type: unexplained_observation Source paper: The tauopathies.
