The Neuroscience of ADHD

ADHD is linked to the underdevelopment of the cerebellum, which plays a crucial role in cognitive function and skill automation. This connection illuminates why individuals with ADHD may struggle with tasks that require sustained focus and cognitive load. The cerebellum's involvement suggests that many symptoms associated with ADHD stem from an inability to automate certain skills rather than a lack of intelligence or capability. Understanding ADHD from this neurological perspective opens up pathways for developing targeted interventions that can enhance cognitive functioning.
