Caption
The brain of a 7-day-old fruit fly with Tau expressed in a neuronal circuit used by the fly in olfactory memory. The green outlines the neurons, which are starting to swell and degenerate due to the Tau protein. The red shows where Tau is building up in clusters along the neurons, starting to form the clumps that eventually become rope-like fibrils
