A U-shaped dose-response curve exists for HBOT: low-moderate pressures (1.5-2.0 ATA) optimally activate PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy to clear mitochondria with tau seeds, while higher pressures may suppress mitophagy through excessive ROS.
Closed-loop gamma entrainment therapy enhances SST+ interneuron activity, which modulates astrocyte function through the SST-SST1R signaling axis. SST released from entorhinal cortex interneurons acts on astrocytes expressing SST1R/SST2R, enhancing their neuroprotective secretome production including MANF/GPNMB/HepaCAM, rescuing motor neuron RBP nuclear import.
