overall cortex volumes (about 5 percent smaller in terms of absolute differences) and these differences were most prominent in many specific brain regions that are known to be involved in processes that are dif
Although ADHD research looking at sex differences has focused largely on functional comparisons, research evaluating brain structure of boys and girls with ADHD has been lacking, with onlyone other studylooking at differences in frontal lobe morphology. For this study, Dr Mostofsky and colleagues use...
Identifying Brain Differences In People With ADHDIRA FLATOW
No overall difference was found between ADHD and controls in total brain volume or total gray and white matter volumes. However, differences emerged when the researchers looked at specific regions within the brain. Alterations in the shape of three brain regions (left temporal lobe, bilateral cuneus...
May 12, 2008 (Washington, DC) — In preliminary studies, new imaging techniques show differences in brain pathophysiology of children with bipolar disease vs those with severe irritability and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) when they are playing a frustrating game. "In many ways, ...
ADHD’s effects on the brain are very real. How does ADHD affect the brain? There are both developmental and structural differences in the brain in both kids and adults with ADHD. The result of these differences does not reduce a person’s intelligence, but it can make daily activities invo...
With technological advances, researchers have been able to identify genes associated with ADHD, but they had not been able to determine how genomic differences in these genes act in the brain to contribute to symptoms until now. “Multiple types of genomic studies are pointing towards t...
ADHD doesn’t mean your child isn’t as smart as kids who don’t have it. But it might affect the way they perform or act in school, and other important areas of life. Experts have found differences in the brains of people with and without the condition. These might change as a chil...
It's important to invest in brain scans if you think you might have ADHD. They reveal the type you have and differences between them.
These findings were presented in a symposium at the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry 54th Annual Meeting. "I did not expect to see no differences between women with ADHD and healthy controls," presenter Eve M. Valera, PhD, from Harvard Medical School, in Boston, Massachusetts,...
