Terrific paper. It helps explain what is happening with tau pathology earlier in the process.
If the early tau pathology is reversible, with neurons still living but impaired, one wonders, What are our treatment options? I am particular curious, of course, about possible nutritional approaches.

This is a very carefully performed behavioral and electrophysiological study of an established tau mouse model. AD is a synapse failure.
