Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been used in various studies to track brain activity in individuals with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), compared to those without the disorder. This technique has helped researchers identify differences in neural functioning underlying ADHD symptoms, such as difficulties with attention and impulse control.
