[Structural magnetic resonance imaging findings as an aid to explain the neurobiology of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: towards the identification of a neuroanatomical phenotype].

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly prevalent mental disorder in childhood. From the nineties, structural MRI has been used in the study of the neurobiological bases of ADHD. AIMS: To summarize and to analyze the main findings reported in the structural MRI studies of ADHD. DEVELOPMENT: A Medline search of MRI studies examining ADHD neuroanatomy from 1990 until 2006 was...
