Astrocyte reactivity influences amyloid-β effects on tau pathology in preclinical Alzheimer’s disease

Aβ was associated with increased plasma phosphorylated tau only in individuals positive for astrocyte reactivity (Ast+).

#introduction

Hi everyone ! I am an applied mathematician working in #neuroscience!
I am currently doing a postdoc @UniversityPompeuFabra in Barcelona to study disorders of #consciouness (i.e. patients waking up from #coma but not fully recovering) using whole-brain models.

I am also interested in neuron-glia interactions and in particular in the role of #astrocytes in the regulation #neuronal activity such as #bursting and #oscillatory patterns generation.
