A study by neuroscientists at Radboud University Medical Center in the Netherlands and the ENIGMA consortium found that individuals with ADHD have smaller brains on average than neurotypical individuals. The study involved pooling brain imaging data from ADHD patients and healthy controls across various age groups. The researchers discovered that individuals with ADHD had smaller volumes in certain brain regions related to emotional regulation, motivation, and memory. These findings suggest that ADHD may be linked to delayed brain maturation. Further research is needed to explore the implications of these smaller brain volumes on brain function and potential therapeutic interventions.
