Unraveling the Role of Epigenetics in ADHD
Recent research is providing a deeper understanding of how genes and environmental factors interact to influence its development.
ADHD Across Generations
New research confirms the high risk of ADHD in offspring of parents with the condition, and shows a surprising gender bias.
The Future of ADHD
Our understanding of ADHD has made steady progress over the years and is resulting in better diagnosis and treatment of the condition.
Discovering the Genetic Risk Factors Behind ADHD
A major new study has identified specific genetic risk factors for ADHD. The findings can have significant implications for the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of ADHD.
Imaging and the Early Prediction of ADHD
fMRI, in combination with artificial intelligence, could provide a new tool for clinicians to use in making an accurate diagnosis of ADHD. More importantly, it could give families an early prediction of whether ADHD symptoms will emerge in an at-risk child.
New Research Pinpoints the Genes Responsible for ADHD
A group of international doctors has uncovered the genes that contribute to the development of ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder, major depression and schizophrenia. This knowledge may lead to the development of more effective treatments for all 5 conditions.
New Research Offers the Promise of a Genetically Based Diagnosis for ADHD
A new genomic study of families whose members had ADHD showed they all had specific features in certain genes. The identification of such patterns may help improve the diagnosis of ADHD. Genetically based diagnosis of ADHD could provide earlier detection and treatment. This is especially critical now that 10% of children in the U.S. are being diagnosed with ADHD.
Researchers Get Closer to Finding the Genetic Mechanism for ADHD
Genetics are known to play a strong role in the development of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, identifying the precise path from a malfunctioning gene … Read More
