Accumulation of abnormal Tau is a characteristic feature of a number of neurodegenerative disorders, called tauopathies. What is the reason for Tau toxicity in neuronal cells? In this issue of Neuron, Sohn et al. (2019) found that FTD mutant Tau-V337M blocks axon initial segment (AIS) plasticity, causing neuronal hyperexcitability.
异常 Tau 的积累是许多神经退行性疾病(称为 Tau 病)的特征。Tau 毒性在神经元细胞中的原因是什么?在本期《神经元》杂志中,Sohn 等人(2019 年)发现 FTD 突变型 Tau-V337M 阻断轴突起始段(AIS)的可塑性,导致神经元过度兴奋。
