Impressive talk Tara!! @tspiresjones.bsky.social Wish I could record the audible “wow”s around me when you showed the 3D EM reconstructions. Synapses and all its’ beauty!

Discover the role of synapses in Alzheimer’s disease and discuss how understanding synaptic pathology paves the way for life-changing treatments at tonight’s Presidential Special Lecture with Tara Spires-Jones, DPhil. 🔗 vist.ly/4ere4 #neurosky #neuroskyence

Good morning from rainy San Diego!! I’m all set up for #SfN2025, bar an umbrella but it’s dry indoors anyway 🤭

See a lovely piece on STV highlighting the impacts of this disease on families . While our new findings will not lead to a new treatment today, we aim to bring hope to people living with PSP for the future news.stv.tv/east-central...

'People think my wife is drunk but she's living with a rare brain disease'

Edinburgh couple hope for treatment for rare neurological condition progressive supranuclear palsy.

📢Fabulous new paper from @tspiresjones.bsky.social, @clairedurrant1.bsky.social & team describes new mechanisms in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, suggesting that targeting tau in synapses is a promising approach for future treatments. Full paper➡️www.nature.com/articles/s41593-025-01992-5 🧠

Our paper in Nature Comms is now online! Summary below but in short we use living human brain slice cultures in a number of different ways to model dementia processes. Big team effort led by myself, @robertmcgeachan.bsky.social and @clairedurrant1.bsky.social rdcu.be/ej647

Divergent actions of physiological and pathological amyloid-β on synapses in live human brain slice cultures

Nature Communications - Understanding synapse loss in Alzheimer’s disease has been hampered by a lack of human model systems. Here, the authors show that manipulation of physiological or...

Day 3: @braincomms.bsky.social and @brain1878.bsky.social up for the last day, we are waiting for you 😆 #bna2025

Day 3 at #BNA2025: At the @brain1878.bsky.social & @braincomms.bsky.social booth in between sessions! 👋🏼

@braincomms.bsky.social booth at #BNA2025 is busy come say hi!

What a venue!! At the #BNA2025 Gala dinner 😍

Another fantastic poster session #BNA2025
