Dr. Richard Morris summarizes the research contributions presented at the symposiun using an impressionistic painting analogy. Key themes include microglial activation and its role in neuroimmune inflammation, particularly through cytokines like IL-17. Promising treatment approaches lead to MRI changes and reduced OCD symptoms. The connection between blood-brain barrier leakage and microglial activation is examined, along with genetic factors in PANDAS. The impact of COVID-19 on neuropsychiatric research and the importance of pathology in medicine are also highlighted.
