Correlations between asymmetry indices (AI) and MOXO-d-CPT subscale scores in the ADHD group (n = 40).
| Brain region/asymmetry index | MOXO subscale | r | p | Direction of relationship | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frontal lobe (cortical thickness AI) | Attention | +0.45 | 0.008 | Higher rightward AI → ↑ Attention performance | Rightward asymmetry was associated with fewer omission errors |
| Parietal lobe (cortical thickness AI) | Timing | +0.38 | 0.030 | Higher rightward AI → ↑ Timing performance | Rightward asymmetry showed a correlation with better temporal control |
| Anterior cingulate cortex (thickness AI) | Attention | +0.40 | 0.020 | Higher rightward AI → ↑ Attention performance | Rightward ACC asymmetry supports sustained attention |
| Inferior frontal gyrus (thickness AI) | Impulsivity | −0.42 | 0.015 | Lower AI (leftward) → ↑ Impulsivity | Reduced right IFG asymmetry showed a correlation with more impulsive responses |
| Amygdala (volume AI) | Hyperactivity | +0.36 | 0.040 | Higher rightward AI → ↓ Hyperactivity | Greater right dominance was associated with lower hyperactivity |
| Thalamus (volume AI) | Hyperactivity | +0.30 | 0.070 | Trend (ns) | Rightward asymmetry trend toward lower hyperactivity |
