This hypothesis proposes that theta-gamma cross-frequency coupling (TGC) regulates lncRNA-9969 function through phase-dependent translational control in somatostatin-positive (SST) interneurons rather than transcriptional regulation in PV interneurons. The mechanism centers on closed-loop transcranial focused ultrasound (cl-tFUS) generating nested theta-gamma oscillations (4-8 Hz theta with 30-80 Hz gamma bursts) that selectively activate SST interneurons expressing somatostatin (SST gene). Unli
This hypothesis proposes that lncRNA-9969, when upregulated by CREB1 activation in parvalbumin (PV) interneurons, employs a sophisticated two-factor recognition mechanism to selectively sequester miR-6361 and enhance autophagy. The mechanism operates through canonical seed complementarity paired with favorable local RNA secondary structures that distinguish miR-6361 from other seed-sharing microRNAs. Upon gamma oscillation entrainment via transcranial focused ultrasound, PV interneurons undergo
