Discovery shines light on a cascade of events that occurs when toxic tau impacts synapses, suggesting new mechanisms for neurodegeneration Congrats to the Buck’s Tracy lab for their new paper in Molecular Neurodegeneration. The work describes a new mechanism for how synapses deteriorate in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.

New mechanism for how synapses deteriorate in #Alzheimers, with new tool that maps dynamic postsynaptic changes after acute tau oligomer exposure. Study in @molneurodegen.bsky.social
