Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and white matter microstructure: The importance of dimensional analyses and sex differences
Open Access paper from JCPP Advances – “Attention-deficit/hyperactive disorder (ADHD) has substantial heterogeneity in clinical presentation. A potentially important clue may be variation in brain microstructure. Using fractional anisotropy (FA), previous studies have produced equivocal results in relation to ADHD. This may be due to insufficient consideration of possible sex differences and ADHD’s multi-componential nature”. Scott A. Jones et al.
