[quote=Anonymous]The issue is that if the tests are looking at behavioral markers there are a lot of confounding variables. The newer research is using brain scans to look for differences but the tech just hasn’t been good enough for long enough to have really solid results. Also, we just don’t know enough about how the brain works and how ADHD affects the brain. As I recall, one early study seemed to show increased activity in one area of the brain related to endorphins, but because people with ADHD have deficits in that area generally (causing them to seek out stimulation through movement etc.) changes in that area may actually be beneficial—like a blind person who develops enhanced hearing to help compensate for a deficit. Tbis isnt the study Im thinking of, hut here’s a similar one: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/01/200117100257.htm[/quote]
