Abstract

Neuroimaging is increasingly widely used in the field of ADHD research, and more and more studies have shown that ADHD patients have structural abnormalities such as reduced cortical volume, thinning thickness, and reduced surface area, which are related to complex clinical symptoms and abnormal brain function in patients. However, the use of neuroimaging to identify biomarkers as an objective diagnostic tool for ADHD still faces many challenges. Multimodal studies can be used to explore the relationship between the structure and function of different brain regions in ADHD patients, and to use neuroimaging to reveal the mechanism of the evolution of clinical symptoms in the whole life cycle of ADHD patients.
