Tau reduction impacts brain cells involved in creating abnormal activity

With the school year well on its way, we all recognize the importance of getting students energized. However, we also know that overstimulated children can wreak havoc on a classroom, leaving a teacher trying to regain control of their group. The situation is very similar in the brain, where cells must remain active - but in an orderly manner - to carry out their many important tasks.
