- Evaluate the clinical and experimental evidence linking viral infections to the risk, onset, or progression of neurodegenerative diseases, with a focus on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
- Explain how antiviral host defenses may shift from protective responses to drivers of neuronal dysfunction and neurodegeneration.
- Explore how endogenous protective mechanisms, particularly autophagy, might be therapeutically leveraged to limit virus-associated neuronal injury.
