Researchers from Sichuan University have used cerebral radiomics, an analytical framework for psychoradiology that they developed, to identify diagnostic and subtyping features of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Preliminary findings suggest that certain domains of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can be improved with at-home computer interventions and other nonpharmacologic modalities such as physical activity.1 This comes as welcome news to children, who adapt easily to mobile devices and exercise, and to parents who seek alternatives to drugs that have limited efficacy and adverse effects.

While hunting for dinner, the big brown bat must hone in on flitting insects and keep track of its surroundings to avoid crashing into them. Now, scientists have taken a peek at what’s going on in these bats’ brains while they swoop and dive.

Transgender and gender-nonconforming youth are diagnosed with mental health conditions much more frequently than young people who identify with the gender they are assigned at birth, according to new Kaiser Permanente research published today in Pediatrics.

ADHD symptoms have a direct relationship with disordered eating behaviors including binge eating and restrictive eating, according to a new study published in Frontiers in Psychiatry.

ADHD is a hot topic in Israel, for good reasons. The country has the world’s highest rate of ADHD diagnoses, according to one recent survey. I didn’t find that news all that surprising, considering the personalities of most of the Israelis — and Jews — I already knew.

Jennifer Kotler is a doctoral candidate in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. She developed severe ADHD at age 8, and learned to use her disability as a benefit, eventually focusing on public engagement and education around sexual violence.

Researchers have discovered how two brain regions work together to maintain attention, and how discordance between the regions could lead to attention deficit disorders, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depression.

Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are more likely to suffer from mental health disorders, according to a new study. The research also suggests that children of moms with PCOS may have a slight increased risk of developing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
