Novel Therapeutic Hypotheses for Entorhinal Cortex Layer II Selective Vulnerability in AD
1. HCN1-Mediated Resonance Frequency Stabilization Therapy
Description: EC layer II stellate neurons exhibit unique 4-8 Hz membrane resonance frequencies critical for grid cell oscillations, mediated by HCN1 channels. Therapeutic enhancement of HCN1 channel function could maintain proper membrane resonance and prevent the metabolic cascade leading to neuronal death by preserving efficient theta-ga...Unknown
