Hypothesis

Gamma/tFUS Entrainment as Biomarker Modulator of Neuroinflammation, Amyloid, and Tau

Using downstream glial and amyloid/tau biomarkers (plasma p-tau217, GFAP, NfL, amyloid PET, cytokine panels, TSPO PET, microglial scRNA-seq) as pharmacodynamic readouts after gamma/tFUS.

🧪 Overview

Using downstream glial and amyloid/tau biomarkers (plasma p-tau217, GFAP, NfL, amyloid PET, cytokine panels, TSPO PET, microglial scRNA-seq) as pharmacodynamic readouts after gamma/tFUS. NOT claiming that gamma directly normalizes APOE4 or TREM2 transcription as a primary causal mechanism. Gamma entrainment may reduce neuronal damage and downstream glial activation indirectly; APOE/TREM2 expression changes should be exploratory, not the central thesis.

⚖️ Evidence

⚖️ Evidence Matrix3 supports2 contradicts
Supports
Gamma entrainment reduces Aβ plaque burden
Supports
SST restrains microglial inflammation via SSTR2
Supports
Gamma entrainment reduces microglial dystrophy
Contradicts
Gene expression is influenced by countless factors; gamma oscillation to transcriptional regulation in glia is not established
Contradicts
APOE4 effects are developmental; gamma restoration in symptomatic AD unlikely to reverse years of pathology
