Eli5: Since the ADHD brain is developing in an abnormal way, why aren’t scientists trying to surgically fix the brain’s abnormal structure?
In: 0
Neurons are very small and the brain is very complicated. Most brain surgeries involve taking something out that is not supposed to be there (like a tumor). We don’t have the technology to surgically “fix” neurons, and even if we did, we wouldn’t know which ones to fix to treat ADHD.
