This paper seems like something they just put together for the sake of getting a publication out. Which is a pity because both of them are capable of much better. 5/10 Profs, must try harder.

I know how my neurologist would view this study, and I agree with him: how does this research inform clinical treatment decisions? As a result of this study, what is there to treat, and how?

I'm not seeing it.
My doc would agree. He would say"where's the science ? "

This sort of research is not going to lead to a sudden breakthrough, but this sort of work is being done and published and I'd rather people like Jason and Newton were doing it than White and whomever. I would be interested in a large and expensive study looking at these sorts of differences... but don't think it would be worth the time and money.
