Journal ArticleDOI

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is characterized by a delay in cortical maturation

TL;DR: Maturation to progress in a similar manner regionally in both children with and without ADHD, with primary sensory areas attaining peak cortical thickness before polymodal, high-order association areas, and there was a marked delay in ADHD in attainingpeak thickness throughout most of the cerebrum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Developmental trajectories of brain volume abnormalities in children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

TL;DR: Developmental trajectories for all structures, except caudate, remain roughly parallel for patients and controls during childhood and adolescence, suggesting that genetic and/or early environmental influences on brain development in ADHD are fixed, nonprogressive, and unrelated to stimulant treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Longitudinal mapping of cortical thickness and clinical outcome in children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

TL;DR: Children with ADHD show relative cortical thinning in regions important for attentional control, and right parietal cortex thickness normalization in patients with a better outcome may represent compensatory cortical change.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative brain magnetic resonance imaging in girls with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

TL;DR: Findings in this study confirm previous findings for boys in the posterior-inferior lobules of the cerebellar vermis for boys with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in girls with ADHD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cerebellar development and clinical outcome in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

TL;DR: In this article, the volumes of six cerebellar hemispheres, the central white matter, and three vermal subdivisions were determined from MR images acquired at baseline and two or more follow-up scans conducted at 2-year intervals.
