How is an ADHD brain different than a normal brain?
In: Biology
Physically, brains of people who have ADHD are generally smaller then brains of those without ADHD. An interesting finding showed that the hippocampus and amygdala (two parts of the brain) were generally smaller with people who have ADHD. These are the parts of the brain responsible for emotional processing and impulsivity. While the brain can be smaller, it does not affect intelligence in any way.
