Tau deposition patterns are associated with functional connectivity in primary tauopathies

Tau pathology drives neuronal dysfunction in 4- repeat tauopathies. Here, the authors combine tau-PET, resting-state fMRI and histopathology data, to show that brain connectivity is associated with tau deposition patterns in 4-repeat tauopathies.
