Abstract
OBJECTIVE: We sought to examine preliminary results of brain alterations in anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in treatment-na ıve adults with ADHD. The ACC is a central brain node for the integration of cognitive control and allocation of attention, affect and drive. Thus its anatomical alteration may give rise to impulsivity, hyperactivity and inattention, which are cardinal behavioral manifestations of ADHD.
