Once again misleading title. They did some modeling that shows that it might be possible to use CaMK2 to store information on microtubule lattices. That's purely simulations that show possible interactions between two proteins. No experiments were performed and they did not set out to break the brain code. There are no experiments that show information encoding in microtubules. CaMK2 is known to be involved in plasticity (in spine shape modifications via actin dynamics), but microtubules are assumed to be in the dendritic shafts only thus isolated from phosphorylated CaMK2. It would be worth to investigate further though.
