ADHD and OCD Patients Differ Fundamentally in Brain Abnormalities

 ADHD in the News 2016-06-16


ADHD and OCD patients both suffer from poor inhibitory control and in both disorders this has been associated with structural and functional deficits in fronto-striatal networks.

This study therefore conducted a meta-analysis of all published whole brain structural and functional MRI studies of inhibitory control in both disorders.
