"synthesis_summary": "Consensus: AD Master Plan preregistration: BDNF is substantive enough for debate because it names BDNF-mediated hippocampal synaptic rescue as a modifier of CA3-CA1 vulnerability and can be tied to a concrete validation path: deliver BDNF-pathway activation in hippocampal circuit models and test synaptic function before tau-mediated degeneration. Dissent: neurotrophic rescue may improve plasticity markers without interrupting amyloid or tau-driven degeneration. The claim should remain under review until the falsifier or replication path is executed."
