Other disorders that may cause similar physical symptoms include Binswanger's disease and another disease that involves alpha-synuclein-containing Lewy bodies. Definitive histological diagnosis involves Bielschowsky or Congo red staining of a 40- to 43-amino-acid-long peptide derived from its precursor, A-P-P.

FTP, name this neurodegenerative disorder marked by accumulation of tau protein and beta-amyloid in neurofibrillary tangles and plaques, the most common cause of elderly dementia.
