Fig. 1. ADHD Diagnostic Criteria and Functional Domains.

Fig. 1

Relationship of functional domains implicated in ADHD to clinical diagnostic criteria and basic research findings. The central column lists functional domains implicated in ADHD, referenced with a representative study. Each functional domain has an associated example task, and example findings from human and nonhuman primate literature that yield insight into the underlying neural circuitry. To the left of the central column, we show how these functional domains would map onto RDoC constructs, DSM 5 cognitive domains; as well as the ADHD diagnostic criteria, which would fall under both complex attention and executive function. PFC = Prefrontal cortex, LIP = Lateral Intraparietal Cortex, PPC = posterior parital cortex, SEF = supplementary eye field.
