Brain Of Adhd
Scientists say they've discovered that two brain sectors fail to connect when children with ADHD perform an attention-monitoring task. Researchers say the discovery is the first to show that the brains of kids with ADHD react to stimuli differently than normally-developing children. The study found that the brains of kids without the disorder automatically slowed some brain waves in preparation for concentrating, while the brain of kids with ADHD did not prepare for the change of focus.
