Tau oligomers modulate synapse fate by eliciting progressive bipartite synapse dysregulation and synapse loss

Kristeen A. Pareja-Navarro, Christina D. King, Grant Kauwe, Yani Y. Ngwala, Doyle Lokitiyakul, Ivy Wong, Aaryan Vira, Yaofu Liu, Jackson H. Chen, Mahima Sharma, Gabriel Navarro, Olfat A. Malak, Chuankai Zhou, Birgit Schilling, Tara E. Tracy
