Abstract
Proteostasis is crucial for the maintenance and proper operation of cells. Under typical circumstances, the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and the autophagy-lysosome pathway are used to clean out undesired, damaged, misfolded, or aggregated proteins. Any dysregulation in the above-mentioned pathways leads to neurodegeneration. One of the most renowned neurodegenerative disorders is AD. This condition is more prevalent in senior people and is frequently linked to dementia, progressive memory loss, and cognitive function decline, which further contributes to cholinergic neuron degradation and synaptic plasticity loss. Extracellular accumulation of amyloid beta plaques and the intraneuronal deposition of misfolded neurofibrillary tangles are two prime pathological reasons for AD. At present, there is no treatment for AD. All that remains available is the symptomatic treatment of this disease. Autophagy is the major mechanism by which the cells degrade the protein aggregates. Deposited immature autophagic vacuoles (AVs) in AD brains suggest interruption of a person's normal autophagy process. This review has briefly covered various forms and mechanisms of autophagy. Furthermore, the discussion in the article is supported by different ways and mechanisms via which autophagy can be stimulated in a beneficial way and can emerge as a novel target in the treatment of various metabolic CNS related disorders. In the current review article, the mTOR-dependent ones are PI3K/Akt/TSC/mTOR, AMPK/TSC/mTOR, and Rag/mTOR pathways and mTOR-independent ones which include Ca2+/calpain, inositol-dependent, cAMP/EPAC/PLC, and JNK1/Beclin-1/PI3K pathways have been discussed in details. The article sheds light on drugs which are validated with details in tabular form from recent updates in clinical trials.

Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 April 2023.
All research outputs
#3,290,777
of 25,765,370 outputs
Outputs from Current Drug Targets
#61
of 1,122 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#66,429
of 480,211 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Drug Targets
#1
of 30 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,765,370 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,122 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.7. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 480,211 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 30 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its contemporaries.
