ADD - ADHD

NIH - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

"According to the most recent version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders2 (DSM-IV-TR), there are three patterns of behavior that indicate ADHD. People with ADHD may show several signs of being consistently inattentive. They may have a pattern of being hyperactive and impulsive far more than others of their age. Or they may show all three types of behavior. This means that there are three subtypes of ADHD recognized by professionals. These are the predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type (that does not show significant inattention); the predominantly inattentive type (that does not show significant hyperactive-impulsive behavior) sometimes called ADD—an outdated term for this entire disorder; and the combined type (that displays both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms)."

Brain Matures a Few Years Late in ADHD, But Follows Normal Pattern

ARTICLES:

JOURNAL ARTICLES:

Abnormal cerebral cortex structure in children with ADHD. (Hum Brain Mapp. 2007) "CONCLUSIONS:: Results from the present study reveal that ADHD is associated with decreased cortical volume, surface area, and folding throughout the cerebral cortex. The findings suggest that decreased cortical folding is a key morphologic feature associated with ADHD. This would be consistent with onset early in neural development and could help to identify neurodevelopmental mechanisms that contribute to ADHD."

Asymmetry of basal ganglia in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. (Neuro Endocrinol Lett. 2007)

Cerebellar Development and Clinical Outcome in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (Am J Psychiatry 2997) "CONCLUSIONS: Decreased volume of the superior cerebellar vermis appears to represent an important substrate of the fixed, nonprogressive anatomical changes that underlie ADHD."

Characterizing Anatomic Differences in Boys with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder with the Use of Deformation-Based Morphometry (American Journal of Neuroradiology 2007) "CONCLUSION: Our findings confirm that there are widespread abnormalities in volume of boys with ADHD."

Inferior frontal white matter microstructure and patterns of psychopathology in women with borderline personality disorder and comorbid attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. (Neuroimage. 2007) " CONCLUSIONS:: Inferior frontal white matter microstructural abnormalities may be linked to key aspects of psychopathology in women with BPD and comorbid ADHD and add to alterations in orbitofrontal and limbic areas. The relationship between neuropsychological functioning and white matter structure remains unclear."
