About the disorder

According to Wikipedia,

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental disorder of the neurodevelopmental type. It is characterized by problems paying attention, excessive activity, or difficulty controlling behavior which is not appropriate for a person's age. These symptoms begin by age six to twelve, are present for more than six months, and cause problems in at least two settings (such as school, home, or recreational activities). In children, problems paying attention may result in poor school performance. Although it causes impairment, particularly in modern society, many children with ADHD have a good attention span for tasks they find interesting.

Data source

Data were obtained from the multi-site ADHD-200 Sample. We used only the images of the Kennedy Krieger Institute.

Results

Thresholding was carried out using the “threshold-free cluster enhancement” (TFCE) approach of S. M. Smith, T. E. Nichols, NeuroImage (2009).

Maximum intensity projections

The images show maximum intensity projections of thresholded z-score maps. Supra-threshold z-scores are colored orange to yellow (low to high). Gray color means that z-scores were below the threshold.
