Reversal of Endogenous Bioelectrical Network Collapse in Advanced Childhood Cerebral X-Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy [PDF]
Background/Objectives: Advanced childhood cerebral X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (cALD) is traditionally regarded as an irreversible terminal phase of neurodegeneration driven by inflammatory demyelination and axonal loss. Experimental evidence indicates
