NEW FROM ME -

Britain is abandoning international medical consensus on disability.

Every other developed nation recognizes cumulative impairment as genuine severity.

We're about to become an anomaly—and the logic of 4+ suggests it was deliberate.

More great work from the Busche Lab that I’m glad to have played a part in. Now out in @cp-neuron.bsky.social, we show that the earliest neuronal dysfunction in Alzheimer’s models is seen in parvalbumin interneurons in deep cortical layers.

Delighted to have played a part in this work, now out in @cellpress.bsky.social, where we show how soluble high molecular weight tau from Alzheimer’s brain suppresses burst firing in hippocampal neurons.

New research led by @marcaurelbusche.bsky.social has found that tau specifically disrupts a certain type of electrical activity in the hippocampus in Alzheimer's🧠

The findings unlock a key piece of the puzzle in understanding how toxic tau drives memory problems👏👉 buff.ly/yx8Rdk6
