Summary:Disclosed herein are methods for reducing expression of Tau mRNA and protein in an animal with Tau antisense compounds. Also disclosed are methods for modulating splicing of Tau mRNA in an animal with Tau antisense compounds. Such methods are useful to treat, prevent, or ameliorate neurodegenerative diseases in an individual in need thereof. Examples of neurodegenerative diseases that can be treated, prevented, and ameliorated with the administration Tau antisense oligonucleotides include Alzheimer's Disease, Fronto-temporal Dementia (FTD), FTDP-17, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, Epilepsy, and Dravet's Syndrome. Cette invention concerne des procédés permettant de réduire l'expression de l'ARNm de Tau et de la protéine Tau chez un animal à l'aide de composés antisens Tau. Cette invention concerne également des procédés de modulation de l'épissage de l'ARNm de Tau chez un animal à l'aide de composés antisens Tau. Ces procédés sont utiles pour traiter, prévenir, ou améliorer les maladies neurodégénératives chez un individu en ayant besoin. A titre d'exemples de maladies neurodégénératives qui peuvent être traitées, prévenues, et améliorées par l'administration d'oligonucléotides antisens Tau, il y a la maladie d'Alzheimer, la démence fronto-temporale (FTD), FTDP-17, la paralysie supranucléaire progressive, l'encéphalopathie traumatique chronique, l'épilepsie, et le syndrome de Dravet.
