A pleasant surprise to have my latest paper featured on @psypost.bsky.social. The study expanded the neurodevelopmental theories of ADHD to a previously under explored brain network - the limbic system.

The next step is to explore the biological mechanisms driving these developmental differences!
ADHD is linked to early and stable differences in brain's limbic system
A new brain imaging study finds that children with ADHD show disrupted development in white matter connecting emotional and cognitive brain regions. The research links these differences to symptom sev...
