A new study suggests that children with ADHD may exhibit a distinctive, measurable pattern of brain activity that could reflect differences in neural efficiency. The researchers focus on aperiodic EEG ...

A new study published in Molecular Psychiatry reveals that the biological underpinnings of autism and ADHD may transcend traditional diagnostic boundaries. While there is increasing appreciation that ...

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 ...

For years, stimulant medications for ADHD have been described as chemical accelerators, framed as drugs that rev up a sluggish brain. New imaging work turns that story on its head. Brain scans now ...

What does forgiveness look like in the brain? As a neuroscientist, I am always looking for the biological underpinnings of mental processes—not as an effort to distill mystery into molecules, but to ...

ADHD is the most common neurobiological disorder in children. The key word being neurobiological. When in the throes of raising a neurodivergent child, it’s easy to forget that their behavior is ...

Scientists are updating their view of how drugs like Adderall and Ritalin help children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder stay on task. The latest evidence is a study of thousands of brain ...
