Brain Inflammation and ADHD: A Foundational, Overlooked Driver

Neuroinflammation may influence ADHD symptoms by disrupting dopamine signaling, executive function, brain energy production, and nervous system regulation. This article examines the connections between brain inflammation, oxidative stress, gut-brain signaling, cognitive fatigue, and executive dysfunction in ADHD.
