TL;DR: The hypothesis that cerebral glucose metabolism might differ between normal adults (controls) and adults with histories of hyperactivity in childhood who continued to have symptoms after treatment with stimulant medication is investigated.

TL;DR: Findings support the notion that distinct, although overlapping, pathways subserve the processes of selection and anticipation in a two-choice task of probabilistic monetary reward and common structures, including the ventral striatum, are modulated differently by risk/reward during selection and expectation.

TL;DR: Connectivity analysis revealed positive connectivity between lateral superior frontal cortex and regions of middle frontal cortex previously implicated in emotional suppression and negative connectivity with bilateral amygdala and bilateral amygdala.

TL;DR: The past 10 years of published research on psychiatric aspects of child and adolescent obesity is reviewed to highlight information mental health professionals need for preventing obesity in youths and diagnosing and treating it.

TL;DR: Positron emission tomography scans can be performed and are well tolerated by normal teenagers and teenagers with ADHD and global or absolute measures of metabolism did not statistically differentiate between normal adolescents with ADHD.
