Lithium chloride shows effects beyond its main target by altering multiple cellular pathways involved in Tau phosphorylation, kinase activity, and Rho GTPase signaling, with implications for Alzheimer’s disease mechanisms. The study maps how lithium interacts with Tau, kinases, and other pathways across cell models, highlighting potential avenues for safer, more effective treatments.

The article is of interest to psychology-oriented readers because it explores cellular mechanisms linked to memory and cognitive decline, offering a biological perspective on factors that influence behavior and mental processes in aging and dementia.
