"What if the very system protecting you from illness could shape how your brain works? In this eye-opening episode, we dive into groundbreaking research from Duke University that reveals a stunning connection between an immune system gene and hyperactive behavior. Scientists have discovered that STAT1, typically known for fighting off infections, might be a hidden player in conditions like ADHD and autism.
We'll explore how this molecular defender can go rogue in brain cells, disrupting the delicate balance of neural circuits that control attention and behavior. From mice to potential human applications, this episode unravels the fascinating story of how our body's defense system might hold the key to understanding and treating neurodevelopmental disorders. Whether you're curious about neuroscience, have a personal connection to ADHD, or simply love discovering unexpected scientific connections, this episode will transform how you think about the relationship between immunity and behavior."
