🧪 Overview

H3 has the weakest mechanistic coherence. The Drp1 S637/calcineurin directionality is questionable—calcineurin-mediated Drp1 dephosphorylation at S637 is commonly associated with increased Drp1 activity and fission, not a simple shift toward fusion. Additionally, 'MCKAT1-mediated mitochondrial trafficking' is not well-defined, and Piezo1 expression and functional relevance in CCK interneurons need direct evidence. This hypothesis should not be advanced as a therapeutic thesis; mitochondrial stress measurements should be included as safety/biology readouts only.
