Study links subtle motor signs in children to white matter structure, but not uniquely to ADHD
A new study published in Human Brain Mapping has found that subtle motor difficulties in children, such as problems with coordination and involuntary movements, are linked to differences in the brain’s white matter structure. However, these differences were not specific to children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), suggesting that white matter organization plays a role in motor development across all children.
