PDE10A Inhibitors — Striatal cAMP/cGMP Rescue in HD

Hypothesis

The script states this question. It was not tested here: 1. Is PDE10A loss in HD striatum a driver of MSN dysfunction or a downstream consequence? 2. Do PDE10A inhibitors restore DARPP-32/CREB/PGC-1α signaling in HD preclinical models? 3. What is the presymptomatic therapeutic window for PDE10A targeting in HD? 4. How does the cAMP/cGMP axis interact with existing hypotheses (h020 MSN excitability, h021 NAD+/SIRT1, h037 BDNF/TrkB)? 5. Can PDE10A PET imaging serve as a progression biomarker for HD clinical trials?

Method

Checked that run_experiment_17_pde10a_striatal_rescue.py exists and was not run. No local Ollama server and no Gemini key were available, so the script was not started.

Result

No papers, scores, or biological findings. This run stops at the blocker.

Full write-up: data/experiment_017_blocked_report.md.

updated by recording the blocked run instead of leaving the script unpublished and empty.
