## Mechanistic Overview Trans-Synaptic Adhesion Molecule Modulation starts from the claim that modulating NLGN1 within the disease context of Alzheimer's Disease can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The neurexin-neuroligin trans-synaptic adhesion system represents a critical molecular bridge that maintains synaptic integrity while potentially facilitating pathological tau propagation in neurodegenerative diseases. Neuroli
**Background and Rationale** Synaptic dysfunction represents one of the earliest pathological hallmarks in neurodegenerative diseases, often preceding neuronal death by years or decades. The integrity of synaptic connections relies heavily on trans-synaptic adhesion molecules, which serve as molecular bridges that maintain structural stability and facilitate proper synaptic transmission. Among these, the neurexin-neuroligin (NRXN-NLGN) system represents the most extensively characterized trans-
