A neuroimaging study of adolescents with ADHD found age-related increases in glutamate levels in the medial prefrontal cortex ...

Researchers find an ancient brainstem circuit that acts as an attention engine, offering a new direction for targeted ADHD and autism treatments.

Recent evidence suggests the brain’s major excitatory neurotransmitter, glutamate, plays a key role in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Here we ask ...

Neurons tucked away in an ancient part of the brain control the ability to pay attention by suppressing distractions and ...

While aberrant responsiveness to rewards represents a core transdiagnostic feature across attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder ...

May 7, 2008 (Washington, DC) — A large neuroimaging study found that in attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), brain development follows a normal trajectory, but maturation of the prefrontal ...

Study demonstrates that the Homer1 gene improves focus by reducing “noise” in the prefrontal cortex, with implications for the study of ADHD and other attention disorders. Attention disorders such as ...

The brain is constantly bombarded with information, and focus depends on its ability to filter out distractions and detect what matters. Attention disorders such as attention-deficit hyperactivity ...

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published in Neuron, finds in mice that, via specific circuits, the ...

Attention disorders such as ADHD involve a breakdown in our ability to separate signal from noise. The brain is constantly bombarded with information, and focus depends on its ability to filter out ...
