ADCY8 may integrate magnetic field sensing with memory formation for navigation. Therapeutic stimulation combining magnetic field cues with ADCY8 pathway activation could restore spatial orientation in patients with navigation disorders by reactivating dormant magnetosensory-memory circuits.

| IF aged 5xFAD transgenic mice with established spatial navigation deficits receive combined treatment (AAV-hADCY8 hippocampal injection plus 1-hour daily exposure to 50-μT rotating magnetic field), TH | Combined therapy group will show significantly faster acquisition and retention in Barnes maze spatial memory task compared to single-modality treatment groups | — no observation — | pending | 0.28 |
| IF ADCY8 is selectively knocked out in the medial entorhinal cortex of mice using Cre-lox system, THEN the animals will show no improvement in Morris water maze spatial navigation latency when exposed | Significant genotype × magnetic field interaction on spatial navigation latency, with wild-type mice improving but ADCY8 knockout mice showing no magnetic field | — no observation — | pending | 0.35 |
