Mechanistic description

Provide alternative energy substrates for stellate neurons through enhanced lactate metabolism when glucose utilization becomes impaired

Debate provenance: derived from debate sess_sda-2026-04-01-gap-004 on question: Why do entorhinal cortex layer II stellate neurons die first in AD? Their unique electrophysiological properties, grid cell function, and high metabolic demand may contribute, but the molecular basis of selective vulnerability is unknown.. Consensus signal: domain_expert, medicinal_chemist, skeptic, synthesizer, theorist discussed the mechanism terms Lactate, Metabolic, Reprogramming, SLC16A7, Utilization. Novelty signal: skeptic-discussed-with-qualified-concession.
