The study sheds light on the brains response to temporary oxygen deprivation

When we learn something new, our brain cells (neurons) communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals. If the same group of

A team has revealed how excess tau impairs signal transmission across synapses in mouse models of Alzheimers disease, uncovering a potential new drug target for the disease.

A study has revealed how tau – a key protein implicated in Alzheimer’s disease – impairs communication between neurons, providing new avenues for trea....
