Overview

Neuroscience spans synaptic function, neuroinflammation, neurodegenerative mechanisms and biomarkers. The priority is to connect experimental mechanisms with clinically meaningful questions.

02

Biological mechanism

Synaptic dysfunction, proteostasis, neuroinflammation and neuronal bioenergetics are interacting pathways. Their relative importance varies by disorder.

03

Preclinical evidence

Cell and animal studies support mechanistic hypotheses, but behavioral or biomarker changes do not automatically predict clinical benefit.

04

Human studies

Human studies examine diagnostic biomarkers, patient selection and disease-modifying interventions. Evidence must be evaluated for each technology and indication.

05

Limitations & safety

Model-to-human translation, meaningful clinical outcomes, patient heterogeneity and safety remain major limits.
