## Mechanistic Overview Closed-loop transcranial focused ultrasound with 40Hz gamma entrainment to restore hippocampal-cortical connectivity in early MCI starts from the claim that modulating PVALB within the disease context of Alzheimer's disease can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The proposed closed-loop transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) with 40Hz gamma entrainment targets a fundamental pathophysiological circuit
