Researchers led by Dr Claire Durrant have used living human brain tissue to show for the first time how a toxic protein in Alzheimer’s can damage synapses👏 The team hope the cutting-edge tool could help accelerate the development of new treatments👉buff.ly/cXK2LIa

Where does Alzheimer’s begin in the brain? Our new study in Neuron reveals that earliest changes start deep in cortical layers 5/6, selectively affecting parvalbumin interneurons via reduced NPTX2 & GluA4. Restoring NPTX2 reversed deficits. cell.com/neuron/fulltex…
