Abnormal Glutamate Biomarkers in ADHD: CDK5, MAP2, GKAP, PSD95 (2023 Study)

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that has puzzled researchers and clinicians for decades. Recent studies have begun to unravel the intricate relationship between ADHD and the glutamatergic system, a major neurotransmitter pathway in the brain. A newer study evaluated the roles of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5), microtubule-associated protein-2 (MAP2), guanylate kinase-associated …

While highly heritable, the heterogeneity of clinical presentation suggests complex interactions between genetic and environmental risk factors. A new study suggests that it may be possible to diagnose ADHD or detect ADHD susceptibility risk in children …
