Neurobiology of ADHD: Understanding the Brain's Signature

This chapter explores the intricate neurological mechanisms underlying ADHD, focusing on the balance of top-down and bottom-up brain signaling. It highlights key findings from brain imaging studies that reveal how disrupted connections and underdeveloped areas, particularly in the frontal cortex, impact attention, emotional regulation, and impulsivity in affected children. Additionally, it discusses the implications of these neurological insights for future ADHD diagnosis and treatment strategies.
