Cortical structural and functional coupling during development and implications for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

S. M. Soman, N. Vijayakumar, et al.

This groundbreaking neuroimaging study reveals significant insights into the contrasting development of structure-function coupling in children with ADHD compared to their typically developing peers. Conducted by Shania Mereen Soman, Nandita Vijayakumar, Phoebe Thomson, Gareth Ball, Christian Hyde, and Timothy J. Silk, the findings highlight atypical connectivity patterns that may influence cognitive development in ADHD.

Abstract

This longitudinal neuroimaging study investigated the development of structure-function coupling in 84 typically developing children and 91 children with ADHD, aged 9-14. Typically developing children showed increased coupling strength in higher-order cognitive and sensory regions. Children with ADHD exhibited weaker overall coupling, particularly in prefrontal, superior temporal, and inferior parietal cortices, but increased coupling in other regions like the inferior frontal gyrus and superior parietal cortex. These findings suggest atypical coordinated white matter and functional connectivity development in ADHD.
