Hyperactivity and Brain Connectivity in Adults with ADHD

Hyperactivity and Brain Connectivity in Adults with ADHD

Join us today as we delve into the topics of medication stimulants and physical brain differences in neurodivergent individuals. The study links hyperactivity and restlessness in adults with increased functional connectivity in certain brain networks, highlighting neural basis for symptoms.

    @haaretzcom the overall tenor of the article is interesting but to say there is nothing organic is to elide if not ignore recent studies: https://t.co/nUeL5SI0wi https://t.co/Ex9wHIYgq3

Abstract Synopsis

  • The study found that hyperactivity and restlessness in adults with ADHD are linked to increased functional connectivity in certain brain networks, especially within the resting state networks analyzed using fMRI.
  • Older adults showed decreased connectivity in parts of the brain involved in executive control, suggesting age-related changes in brain network functioning associated with ADHD.
  • The severity of hyperactivity was specifically associated with increased connectivity in areas like the left putamen and right caudate, highlighting a neural basis for symptom differences within adult ADHD patients.]
