Recent conceptualizations of ADHD have taken seriously the distributed nature of neuronal processing [10,11,35,36]. Most of the candidate networks have focused on prefrontal-striatal-cerebellar circuits, although other posterior regions are also being proposed [10].

The selective norepinephrine (NE) transporter inhibitor atomoxetine (formerly called tomoxetine or LY139603) has been shown to alleviate symptoms in Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Executive function (EF) is an umbrella term that encompasses the set of higher-order processes (such as inhibitory control, working memory, and attentional flexibility) that govern goal-directed action and adaptive responses to novel, complex, or ambiguous situations (Hughes et al., 2005).

ADHD的左前額葉通常與控制組有顯著不同。
Zametkin等人在1990年发表的一篇论文中利用核磁共振成像技术研究了成人ADHD患者的脑部葡萄糖代谢，成像结果如上图。图中颜色越接近白色表示葡萄糖利用率越高，左侧为非ADHD成人，右侧为ADHD成人患者，可见二者有显著不同。
