A researcher from a University at Buffalo is currently studying how brian connectivity, specific communication among different brain regions, are able to fulfill the role as a bio-marker for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). ADHD is commonly diagnosed psychological disorder for school-adged children.
Brain connectivity of ADHD may be a more stable diagnosis since a diagnostic "flip-flop" might not be seen.
