Infant brain connectivity differs with familial ADHD risk
Bioengineer.org
Infants at high familial risk for ADHD exhibit distinct frontoparietal brain connectivity patterns compared to low-risk peers between 8 and 14 months of age, with a notable increase in connectivity between the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and right parietal cortex. These findings, based on a longitudinal study using fNIRS, suggest early neural differences associated with ADHD risk, though results are preliminary and not sufficient for diagnosis. The study highlights the potential of noninvasive methods to track early neurodevelopmental changes in ADHD risk.
