New neuroscience research explores how molecules tied to Alzheimer's interact with memory circuits. It invites readers to reconsider familiar disease narratives with fresh curiosity.
Key Takeaways
- Phosphorylation of tau at threonine 205 changes how engram cells are recruited
- Modulating tau T205 phosphorylation altered remote memory retention and recall in mice
- These findings indicate tau can play a physiological role in memory circuitry
