ADHD MRI

Julia W. Tossell, M.D.,
Wendy Sharp, M.S.W.

We are currently recruiting for three studies.

 1)      Young children with ADHD (between the ages of 4 and 8). 

2)      Identical twins with ADHD- one of whom has ADHD and the other who does not. 

3)      Young adults (between the ages of 14 and 25) who either still have persisting ADHD or have completely recovered from ADHD. 

In all of these studies we are looking at the links between brain development and change in symptoms.

In our studies we use a combination of magnetic resonance brain imaging, clinical interviews and psychological testing."
