Compensatory Paradigm Nexus

Hallmark pathological features (amyloid, tau) reinterpreted as initially protective responses that become pathologically reinforced over time.

Converging Mechanisms

  • Abeta as antioxidant response to lipid peroxidation (Ramsden)
  • Abeta/tau as compensatory for excitatory insufficiency (Moosmann: NMDA hypofunction)
  • Lipid raft restructuring as allostatic adaptation (Rappoport)
  • Abeta monomer depletion drives compensatory overproduction (Huang)

Key Concept

Adaptive responses become pathologically reinforced over time. What begins as neuroprotection eventually accelerates neurodegeneration.
