Atypical Pulvinar-Cortical Pathways During Sustained Attention Performance in Children With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

The article presents research on the neurobiological basis of inattentiveness in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), focusing on structural abnormalities in pathways connecting pulvinar nuclei to cortical/subcortical areas of the brain. The study used task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study children's brains, and it is concluded that abnormalities in pulvinar nuclei may lead to disrupted functional circuits for visual attention processing.
