Mechanistic description
Precisely timed orexin receptor antagonism during specific sleep phases to enhance glymphatic-mediated tau clearance while preventing sleep fragmentation that accelerates tau pathology
Debate provenance: derived from debate sess_sda-2026-04-01-gap-v2-18cf98ca on question: Sleep disruption as cause and consequence of neurodegeneration. Consensus signal: domain_expert, skeptic, synthesizer, theorist discussed the mechanism terms Chronotherapeutic, Clearance, HCRTR1/HCRTR2, Modulation, Orexin, agonism, antagonism, clearance. Novelty signal: skeptic-discussed-counterarguments.
