Improved Long-Term Potentiation and Memory in Young Tau-P301L Transgenic Mice before Onset of Hyperphosphorylation and Tauopathy
29 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
The microtubule binding protein tau is implicated in neurodegenerative tauopathies, including frontotemporal dementia (FTD) with Parkinsonism caused by diverse mutations in the tau gene. Hyperphosphorylation of tau is considered crucial in the age-related formation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) correlating well with neurotoxicity and cognitive defects. Transgenic mice expressing FTD mutant tau-P301L...
