Lack of functional brain connectivity was associated with poor inhibition in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder using near-infrared spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The present study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of functional brain connectivity in the resting state in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and to assess the association between the connectivity and inhibition function using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).

Methods

In total, 34 children aged 6-13 diagnosed with ADHD were recruited from Hangzhou Seventh People's Hospital. In comparison, 37 healthy children were recruited from a local primary school as controls matched by age and sex. We used NIRS to collect information on brain images. The Stroop test assessed inhibition function. We compared the differences in functional brain connectivity in two groups by analyzing the resting-state brain network. Pearson partial correlation a
