significant neuronal cell loss is observed but where spatial reference memory displays variable deficits. Conclusion: The memory deficits in the rTg4510 mice appear to result from changes in neuronal function rather than overall neuronal death. Initial results suggest that synaptic degeneration pre-dates neuronal loss by several months. We therefore hypothesize that memory deficits in rTg4510 mice may be due at least in part to a synaptic disorder that is reversible upon suppression of mutant tau.
