Ranked Claims
The review comparatively analyzes biophysical, genetic, and biological neuromodulation approaches with emphasis on molecular targets and translational potential.
The reviewed neuromodulation methods were assessed based on specificity, safety, reversibility, and mechanistic clarity.
A critical gap in commonly used neuromodulation methods is incomplete mechanistic understanding, and identifying molecular targets may improve therapeutic precision.
Botulinum neurotoxins provide long-lasting yet reversible inhibition through well-characterized molecular pathways but require stereotaxic injections and remain invasive.
Biophysical neuromodulation methods are widely used in clinical practice but often rely on empirical outcomes because their molecular targets are undefined.
Genetic neuromodulation tools offer cell-type precision in experimental systems but face translational barriers related to delivery and safety.
