Figure 3. Identification of regions associated with ADHD and related to impulsive decision making (as measured by the delay discounting task).

Figure 3

Volume maps show connections with NAcc that were both, associated with ADHD (from the comparison map – section 1), and correlated with delay discounting gradient (section 2). Results are adjusted for the effects of age and gender. Scatter plots display the correlation. Lines represent the best fitted lines for: all children (black), control children (blue), children with ADHD (red). Dots represent: control subjects (blue), children with ADHD combined type (red), inattentive type (green) and hyperactive/impulsive type (dark red). Results suggest that atypical connection between NAcc and anterior PFC is associated with impulsive decision making in children with ADHD.
