Inattention and Hyperactivity Predict Alterations in Specific Neural Circuits Among 6-Year-Old Boys.

The article investigates the relationship between brain morphology and childhood inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. The authors discuss the role of the temporal and parietal cortices, posterior white matter, and callosal tracts on behavior among preschool boys. Other topics explored includ...

Sumario:	The article investigates the relationship between brain morphology and childhood inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. The authors discuss the role of the temporal and parietal cortices, posterior white matter, and callosal tracts on behavior among preschool boys. Other topics explored include the Conner's Parent Rating Scale (CPRS), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
