May 7, 2008 (Washington, DC) — A large neuroimaging study found that in attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), brain development follows a normal trajectory, but maturation of the prefrontal ...

A landmark 2007 study of 223 children with ADHD helped shape how scientists viewed the condition for years. The findings showed that key regions in the brain's frontal cortex—areas linked to attention ...

But anyone who works with children with ADHD-or raises one-knows that symptoms can look very different from one child to another. A new brain imaging study now provides scientific evidence for this ...

The classic image of a child with ADHD is practically a stock character: the spacey kid staring out the window, distracted by squirrels; the fidgeter who can’t sit still, a leg rattling under the desk ...

MRI shows different progressive grey matter volume changes in two ADHD subtypes across symptom severity. Specifically, ADHD subtype 1 exhibits increased GMV, while ADHD subtype 2 shows decreased GMV.

Elaine Pinggal from Monash University, and colleagues assessed how sleep-like brain activity in awake adults influences sustained attention during a task. The researchers compared sleep-like brain ...

Last month I posted an essay linking the dramatic increase in diagnosed ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) to our increasingly restrictive system of schooling (see ADHD and School). I ...

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is often misunderstood as a condition of “too much energy.” Images of children bouncing off the walls or adults ...

Topographic maps of the brain show the spatial representation of activity. The topographic maps shown highlight the density distributions of sleep-like (slow wave) activity across the scalp for the ...
