Distinct topological properties of cue-evoked attention processing network in persisters and remitters of childhood ADHD.

ABSTRACT: Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly prevalent and impairing neurodevelopmental disorder that persists into adulthood in a sizeable portion of afflicted children. The persistence of ADHD elevates the risk for adverse outcomes that result in substantial individual and societal burden. The objective of this study is to assess neurobiological substrates associated with variability of clinical outcomes in childhood ADHD, which has considerable value for the development of novel interventions that target mechanisms associated with recovery. A total of 36 young adults who were diagnosed with ADHD combined-type during childhood and 33 group-matched controls were involved in the study. Adults with childhood ADHD were further divided into 17 persisters and 19 remitters based
