News Finding: Future studies of brain network maturation in ADHD could shed light into the neural basis for this difference.
Paper Finding: Our results provide strong initial evidence that these alterations arise from delays in typical maturational patterns.
News Context: The findings are also relevant to thinking about the longitudinal course of ADHD from childhood to adulthood. Future studies of brain network maturation in ADHD could shed light into the neural basis for this difference. "But without the database of fMRI images, and the spirit of collaboration that allowed them to be compiled and shared, we would never have reached this point."
Paper Context: Thus, conventional seedbased strategies are likely to produce summary measures that do not capture underlying fine-grained patterns of variation or can miss trends that are detectable only when looking across large populations of connections. Our results provide strong initial evidence that these alterations arise from delays in typical maturational patterns. Our results invite further investigation into the neurobiological mechanisms in ADHD that produce delays in development of large-scale networks.
