Funded Activity Summary

Novel postsynaptic functions of the microtubule-associated protein tau. The protein tau is present in abnormal deposits in brains of individuals with dementia. The main aim of this project is to unravel and understand in detail new roles of tau in neurons and thus shed new light into normal brain function. Understanding these new functions of tau will aid in identifying new ways to treat these debilitating diseases.
