Ablating Tau Reduces Hyperexcitability and Moderates Electroencephalographic Slowing in Transgenic Mice Expressing A53T Human α-Synuclein

Abnormal intraneuronal accumulation of the presynaptic protein α-synuclein (α-syn) is implicated in the etiology of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson's disease with dementia (PDD). Recent work revealed that mice expressing human α-syn with the alanine-53-threonine (A53T) mutation ha...
