FUS-BBB breach as excitotoxic glutamate priming vector

Tier 5 — Theoretical (Modeled / Simulated)

Legacy status: THEORETICAL

Technique Details

Tactic
QIF-P.DS
Status
THEORETICAL
Bands
I0, N1, N2, N3

Therapeutic Application

High-intensity FUS + IV microbubbles -> acoustic cavitation -> BBB tight junction breach (24-48hr opening) -> perivascular ionic disequilibrium -> EAAT2 transport impaired -> extracellular glutamate elevated -> NMDA overactivation -> excitotoxic Ca2+ overload -> perilesional neuron death. EPISTEMIC FLAG: direct FUS-BBB->glutamate surge link is INFERRED from ischemia literature, not directly demonstrated in FUS-BBB studies. Attack surface: adversarial modification of therapeutic FUS parameters in clinical setting.

Clinical Analog
