PsyPost · By Bianca Setionago ·
The Brief
- Adults with ADHD showed stronger long-lasting patterns of brain activity than neurotypical adults, according to a study published in Translational Psychiatry.
- The patterns were linked to the severity of ADHD symptoms across both groups.
- The researchers suggest ADHD symptoms may reflect a brain shifting toward overly synchronized activity.
Why it matters
The study points to a measurable neural pattern associated with ADHD symptom severity, which could inform future research on how ADHD is understood, though it is a single study.
