Objective: Longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have shown reduced cortical thickness (CT) in individuals with ADHD, but this abnormality disappears with age, suggesting developmental delay. However, cross-sectional MRI studies have shown reduced CT, suggesting abnormal development. The aim of this study was to compare whole-brain CT in male and female children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD with whole-brain CT in matched control participants.

- MRI studies often overlook unmedicated, non-White girls with ADHD, focusing mostly on male children.
- The study aimed to compare gray matter density in the cerebellum of unmedicated, non-White females with ADHD-C to healthy controls across different ages.
- Results indicated reduced gray matter density in the right cerebellar hemisphere, suggesting a consistent anatomical abnormality in unmedicated Hispanic girls with ADHD-C from childhood into adulthood.
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have shown decreased caudate volumes in individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, most of these studies have been carried out in male children. Very little research has been done in adults, and the results obtained in children are difficult to extrapolate to adults.
