summaryAttention problems, impulse control and compulsive behaviour are key behavioural elements common across both neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. Building on large genetic data sets, we ascertained that dysregulated insulin signaling leading to inflammatory challenges may be a converging mechanism. This has impacts on immunometabolic control and the proteome with K+ channels playing an important modulatory role. Within this presentation, I will expand on our current mechanistic understanding and highlight novel strategies in modulating compulsivity and attention.
