The two proteins involved in Alzheimer’s disease affect brain circuits differently, study shows

A research team from the Institut de Neurociències of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (INc-UAB) has discovered that the two key pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s—tau protein and beta-amyloid—affect brain circuits in distinct yet synergistic ways, particularly those linked to memory and emotions. The study, using a new animal model of Alzheimer’s disease, suggests a potential breakthrough in treatment strategies.
