Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Participants were 61 children with ADHD and 60 healthy controls (boys and girls, ages 7-12). The ADHD children were diagnosed by an experienced psychiatrist to DSM-IV criteria, and have taken Ritalin for up to 6 months. None of the children in the control group had a history of psychiatric disorders, epilepsy, or any report of high-risk behaviors.
