New research has established a possible link between high-fat diets and such childhood brain-based conditions as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and memory-dependent learning disabilities.
Researchers report MRI neuroimaging may help to identify people with ADHD and help to distinguish between different subtypes of the disorder.
A recent study proposes a new theory that states ADHD may be linked to problems with regular circadian sleep. Researchers found in 75% of people with ADHD, the physiological sleep phases was delayed by 1.5 hours.
Researchers have made a breakthrough in understanding the development of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. In a new study, the researchers reveal they have identified specific gene variants which increase the risk of ADHD.
An eye tracking technique that measures small involuntary eye movements may provide a new method for monitoring temporal expectations in people with ADHD, a new study reports.
Researchers detect deficits in social attention in infants as young as six months of age who later develop Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).
According to a new study, siblings of children diagnosed with ASD or ADHD have an increased risk of being diagnosed with the disorders themselves. Researchers found the odds of being diagnosed with ASD were 30 times higher for those who had older siblings with autism, and 3.7 times higher for ADHD diagnosis.
Researchers report that low blood and oxygen flow to the developing brain does not, as previously thought, cause an irreversible loss of brain cells, but rather disrupts the cells’ ability to fully mature.
How well you are able to focus on the task at hand could be predicted by your brain connections, a new paper reports.
A new study reports those with ADHD are at an increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease. The study reveals people with ADHD are twice as likely to develop early onset Parkinson's between the ages of 21-66. Additionally, those who are prescribed stimulant medications to help reduce ADHD symptoms, including Ritalin and Adderal, are at a 6-8 times increased risk of developing Parkinson's.
Researchers present a new hypothesis which may explain why da Vinci had so much trouble completing his work. A new study proposes da Vinci may have suffered from ADHD.
New research suggests children who are breastfed may be less likely to develop ADHD later in life.
