This analysis notebook provides a comprehensive computational investigation of **Sleep disruption as cause and consequence of neurodegeneration**.
1. Validate top gene candidates with experimental data
2. Cross-reference pathway enrichment with public databases (KEGG, Reactome)
3. Design targeted experiments for top-ranked hypotheses
4. Integrate with Allen Brain Atlas cell-type-specific expression data
