ADHD Caused by Brain Connection Issue
New research finds young people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder…or ADHD…have disrupted brain connections.
The study, published in the journal Radiology, used a new kind of MRI scan on a group of about 60 boys…half with ADHD and half without.
The MRI measured brain activity when the child was not focused on a specific task.
The boys with ADHD had altered function in parts of the brain that process strategy and inhibition.
