Disclosed are methods for modulating splicing of Tau mRNA in an animal with Tau antisense compounds. Also disclosed herein are methods for reducing expression of Tau mRNA and protein in an animal with Tau antisense compounds. Such compounds and 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. |
