High Correlation during Motor Tapping in YoungAdults with Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder:A Controlled Functional MRI Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this study was to check the correlation between brain areas in participants with attention deficit-hyperactivitydisorder (ADHD) during rhythmic motor activity. Children with ADHD have abnormal motor oscillatory activity. This maybe a result of synchronous activity and high connectivity between regions involved in motor tasks. We examined correlation between brain regions using functional-MRI in six individuals with ADHD and four controls during finger tapping (according to 1-4Hz cue). We found activation in the right cerebellum, left motor cortex, bilateral basal ganglia and left supplementary motor region. Right frontal cortex was selected as a control region. Correlation between motor regions was higher in participants with ADHD compared to controls (p=0.0046). Correlations between motor and non-motor regions were low in all participants. High correlations between motor regions but not between nonmotor brain regions in participants with ADHD may reflect higher synchrony between motor regions and suggests increased, connectivity during rhythmic activity.
