Light micrograph of a human cerebral cortex showing neurofibrillary tangles in a pyramidal neuron. Neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) are a characteristic neuropathological lesion of Alzheimer's disease. They are composed of a highly-phosphorylated form of the microtubule-associated protein tau. Silver carbonate staining method.
