Among the neurodegenerative diseases caused by protein accumulation, we will focus on TDP43 proteinopathy. Like other diseases, degeneration caused by this protein is pathologically diverse, including clinical and ultrastructural features. However, the way it is transmitted by inoculation into animals is different from other proteins. Even when looking at ALS alone, the state of accumulation in upper and lower motor neurons is also different. In this symposium, we will present the latest findings on the neuropathology, molecular pathology, and clinical features of this protein-related disease.
