Neurotransmitter disruption cascade

Neurotransmitter Disruption Cascade enters the Adult Cognitive Disease corpus through the work of Ameer Shahul (submission 68), and is indexed here as one of the concepts that submission puts to work.

The argument it belongs to

Ameer Shahul's submission is summarised in this corpus as:

Mercury is the single most etiological factor for Alzheimer's disease. Mercury bioaccumulates in the brain, inhibits neurotransmitters (acetylcholine, serotonin, dopamine, glutamate, norepinephrine), disrupts key enzymes (BACE-1, neprilysin, Cox-2), and produces all hallmark AD pathological changes including phosphorylated tau, amyloid plaques, and neurofibrillary tangles.

Where it sits

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

Its declared subject matter: mercury-toxicity, heavy-metals, environmental-etiology, neurotransmitter-disruption, enzyme-dysfunction, ApoE4, blood-brain-barrier, neuroinflammation.

Named by the same submission

3 other concepts enter the corpus through the same paper, so they cover adjacent ground: Environmental toxicology of neurodegeneration · Mercury as primary AD cause · Metal-protein interaction in disease.

Assembled from the corpus rather than written: the summary is quoted from the submission that named it; the node scores are read from its dossier. It has not yet been expanded into an article.
