Pro Tip 1/2Greek Origin
Remember, 'tau' comes from the Greek alphabet, often encountered in academic or scientific contexts.
In mathematical equations, 'tau' is used like pi to represent ratios involving circles.
Pro Tip 2/2Scientific Usage
'Tau' in physics implies precision; don't confuse it with the everyday lowercase 't' for time.
In discussing angular velocity, they symbolized it using 'tau' instead of 'T' to avoid confusion.

It may act as an ancillary factor, but by itself, the mutation in tau doesn't give you Alzheimer's disease. This is not to say the tau is not very important. It may be important in propagating the disorder from one cell to another. But as a causal mechanism, the evidence is strongest for beta amyloid abnormalities.
