Cognitive and anxiety-related synapses display different 'eat-me' signals (phosphatidylserine, calreticulin) making them selectively vulnerable to complement-mediated elimination. Therapeutically masking these signals could provide phenotype-specific neuroprotection without global immunosuppression.
Debate provenance: derived from debate `sess_SDA-2026-04-08-gap-pubmed-20260406-062128-34a47c4e` on question: The study reports that complement-mediated synaptic elimination produces both cognitive
