How does norepinephrine loss specifically contribute to the synergistic cognitive impairment in tauopathy?

OPEN

The synergistic effect between tau pathology and LC degeneration on cognition suggests specific noradrenergic mechanisms beyond general neuronal loss. Identifying these could reveal therapeutic targets for preserving cognition in AD.
