## Mechanistic Overview
H2: Perforant Path Synapse Loss via Early Complement Cascade Activation starts from the claim that modulating C1QA, C1QB, C3, ITGAM within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "## Mechanistic Overview H2: Perforant Path Synapse Loss via Early Complement Cascade Activation starts from the claim that modulating C1QA, C1QB, C3, ITGAM within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a dis
**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The pathophysiology of neurodegeneration in layer II stellate cells centers on dysregulated calcium homeostasis mediated by T-type calcium channels, specifically the Cav3.2 subtype encoded by CACNA1H. These neurons exhibit characteristic theta-burst firing patterns (4-8 Hz) that create sustained periods of membrane depolarization, leading to prolonged activation of voltage-gated calcium channels. Unlike other neuronal populations that rely primarily on L-ty
