Delighted to share our paper examining synaptic tau in PSP. Many thanks to @robertmcgeachan.bsky.social @clairedurrant1.bsky.social and our many collaborators and funders. And extra special thanks to tissue donors who make this work possible.
📢Fabulous new paper from @tspiresjones.bsky.social, @clairedurrant1.bsky.social & team describes new mechanisms in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, suggesting that targeting tau in synapses is a promising approach for future treatments.

🎬 Behind the Science Spotlight - Part 2 with @britishneuro.bsky.social President Prof Tara Spires-Jones
What do fly experiments, negative data & media exposés have in common?
They’re all part of @tspiresjones.bsky.social’s story.
Fabulous talk by the lovely @emmayhnell.bsky.social hwre at @edinunineuro.bsky.social talking about teaching and engaging students with lots of fun tidbits and ideas to consider. Think about your strengths, different modes or medias and maybe make it personal!
