Tau Protein Is Required for Amyloid β-Induced Impairment of Hippocampal Long-Term Potentiation

This work was supported by the Wellcome Trust and an equipment grant from the Alzheimer's Research Trust (funded by Doris Field Charitable Trust). O.A.S. holds a Wellcome Trust OXION studentship. E.M.T. is a Royal Society Research Fellow. F.D. held a Wellcome Trust Studentship in Neuroscience. R.W.-M. held a Wellcome Trust Research Career Development Fellowship, and the work was supported in part by CurePSP. M.V.-C. holds a Wellcome Trust OXION Training Fellowship. O.A.S., J.R.L., J.D., C.E.J.A., E.M.T. and M.V.-C. conducted experiments; H.N.D, M.P.V. and F.D. generated and maintained the Tau^−/− mouse strain; O.A.S., J.R.L. and M.V.-C. analyzed the data. R.W.-M., O.P. and M.V.-C. designed the experiments. O.A.S., O.P. and M.V.-C. wrote the manuscript. All authors discussed the project and approved the final version of the manuscript.
