In an important new study, scientists have scanned the brains of preschoolers with symptoms of ADHD. They have found that even in four-year-olds (an age younger than most children are diagnosed) there are “really widespread changes” in the physical brain of children with ADHD, including a smaller brain overall. The researchers will continue to follow the children as they grow to understand changes in the brain over time.

在近期一項重要的研究中,科學家掃瞄了一批有ADHD症狀的學前兒童的大腦,他們發現,即使只有四歲(比大部分孩子的確診年齡要少),這些孩子的大腦普遍也有明顯的變化,包括整體上腦袋的體積較小。研究人員將會繼續跟進這些孩子,希望隨著他們的成長,可以更進一步了解他們的大腦的變化。
