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 ...

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 ...

Two decades ago, a landmark study showed that the brains of kids with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) take longer to mature. But new research suggests ...

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 ...

A new study from researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine has uncovered an important clue about how the ...

A couple of years ago, Jan Haavik was at a routine meeting of a research group that connects scientists studying attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with people who live with the condition ...

(How to determine if you’re at risk for adult ADHD.) Clinically, this group most closely resembles what many people think of as “classic” ADHD—but amplified. Compared with the control group, these ...

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 ...

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 ...
