News Finding: "The results of this study set the stage for the next phase of this research, which is to examine individual components of the networks that have the maturational lag," he says.
Paper Finding: Our finding of maturational lag specifically in connections within and between these networks suggests a developmental etiology for the deficits proposed in these models.
News Context: "It is particularly noteworthy that the networks we found to have lagging maturation in ADHD are linked to the very behaviors that are the symptoms of ADHD," he says. "The results of this study set the stage for the next phase of this research, which is to examine individual components of the networks that have the maturational lag," he says. "This study provides a coarse-grained understanding, and now we want to examine this phenomenon in a more fine-grained way that might lead us to a true biological marker, or neuromarker, for ADHD."
Paper Context: In particular, lag was observed within the midline core of the DMN, as well as in DMN connections with right lateralized prefrontal regions (in frontoparietal network) and anterior insula (in ventral attention network). Our finding of maturational lag specifically in connections within and between these networks suggests a developmental etiology for the deficits proposed in these models. These advances raise possibilities for investigating maturational lag in ADHD in the developing ICN architecture of the brain (18).
