ADHD

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Because people with ADHD have smaller frontal lobes in the brain, they are less intelligent
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In simple terms, the frontal lobe is the part of the brain that helps you do work and complete tasks. Research has found that this part of the brain is smaller in people with ADHD. However, in some cases, this is a matter of delayed development, and the frontal lobe in people with ADHD grows to a normal size later.

Detailed explanation-2: -Studies have found that ADHD is associated with weaker function and structure of prefrontal cortex (PFC) circuits, especially in the right hemisphere. The prefrontal association cortex plays a crucial role in regulating attention, behavior, and emotion, with the right hemisphere specialized for behavioral inhibition.

Detailed explanation-3: -Based on previous research showing widespread changes in the brain macro-and microstructure, it was hypothesized that an adult ADHD diagnosis is associated with frontal, basal ganglia, anterior cingulate, temporal, and parietal regions in young adults with ADHD.

Detailed explanation-4: -Researchers conclude that ADHD is a brain development disorder. In an international study, researchers in the Netherlands found that MRI scans showed that people diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have slightly smaller overall brain volume than people without ADHD.
