Abstract
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders found in children (Cleveland Clinic, 2023). It is a developmental disorder that can interfere with social and school-related activities and can be diagnosed as young as 2 years of age. Low amounts of gray matter and neurotransmitter γaminobutyric acid (GABA) have all been connected to ADHD symptoms. Gray matter, primarily composed of neuronal cell bodies, dendrites, and unmyelinated axons, is commonly found in lower amounts in patients with ADHD. Another cause of ADHD is lower concentrations of GABA.
