Lay summary
Mental health problems are common, affecting one in four people (Mcmanus et al., 2009). Despite the increase in availability of treatment, many people do not seek or respond to currently available treatments (Fava, 2003). The heterogeneity of these disorders has highlighted the need for new targeted treatments.
Public benefit statement
This research will help us to establish whether there is a causal relationship between inflammation and cognition. This may subsequently provide insight as to whether inflammation could be a promising target for intervention for later cognitive outcomes.
