The document discusses tau pathology findings in progressive supranuclear palsy, including neurofibrillary tangles in tufted astrocytes and oligodendroglies. Specific regions involved are the basal ganglia, subthalamic nucleus, globus pallidus, and substantia nigra. The dentate nucleus shows grumose degeneration. Tau burden and distribution patterns can distinguish progressive supranuclear palsy-parkinsonism from Richardson's syndrome.
