Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) show reduced brain complexity and altered functional connectivity in key networks. These findings suggest impaired inhibitory control network function in ADHD.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Developmental Psychology
- Cognitive Science
Background:
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is associated with functional brain network impairments.
- Key affected networks include the frontoparietal network (FPN), default mode network (DMN), and reward/motivation circuits (RMN).
Conclusions:
- Reduced brain entropy in ADHD aligns with existing neuroimaging findings.
- Altered complexity and FC support hypotheses of impaired inhibitory control network function in ADHD.
