Locus coeruleus as ground zero

Locus coeruleus as ground zero enters the Adult Cognitive Disease corpus through the work of Swananda Marathe (submission 109), and is indexed here as one of the concepts that submission puts to work.

The argument it belongs to

Swananda Marathe's submission is summarised in this corpus as:

AD risk factors converge onto the non-canonical Wnt-PCP pathway and downstream RhoA/ROCK signaling, which disrupts neuronal, glial, and synaptic cytoskeleton. This unified signaling framework explains how diverse risk factors lead to common pathological endpoints and identifies ROCK as a catastrophic pathogenic hub.

Where it sits

The submission scores against the framework's convergence nodes as: cytoskeletal collapse 9 · neuroimmune interface 5 · compensatory paradigm 3 · endosomal nexus 2 · ApoE4 hub 2 · transcriptional / epigenetic 1.

Its declared subject matter: Wnt-PCP-pathway, RhoA-ROCK, cytoskeleton, glia, locus-coeruleus, signaling-convergence, unified-model, drug-targets.
