**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) represents a critical nexus in cellular bioenergetics and calcium homeostasis, particularly in neurons with high metabolic demands such as layer II stellate neurons of the entorhinal cortex. These neurons exhibit distinctive electrophysiological properties, including high-frequency firing patterns and extensive dendritic arborizations that create extraordinary calcium handling requirements. The MCU complex, comprisi...
