Project description

The overall objective of this research is to identify the neural basis of State Regulation Deficits in children with ADHD. This will be achieved by a series of functional imaging and electrophysiological studies comparing brain activations of individuals with and without ADHD under changing task demands known to change levels of task related activation and arousal from optimal to sub-optimal states.
