H4 represents the strongest systems-neuroscience endpoint from the debate, focusing on restoring hippocampal sleep physiology through sharp-wave ripple (SWR)-gamma coupling restoration during NREM sleep. However, the DOMAIN_EXPERT correctly notes that closed-loop stimulation during sleep is technically complex and should follow daytime safety/target-engagement validation. The mechanism should be framed as restoring hippocampal sleep physiology rather than specifically CCK interneurons, since SWR
The debate converges on closed-loop transcranial focused ultrasound (TFUS) targeting hippocampal network oscillations (gamma power, theta-gamma coupling) as the core viable program. The critical unresolved question is whether CCK interneurons are the necessary and sufficient mediators. H1 represents the most fundamental testable hypothesis, but CCK-specificity remains an unproven assumption. The surviving translational concept is narrower: closed-loop hippocampal TFUS as a device-based neuromodu
