Numerous studies have shown evidence for structural and functional brain abnormalities in children with ADHD. Some of these include increased volume of certain parts of the prefrontal cortex, striatum, cerebellum, and corpus callosum. brain volumes remain unchanged. reduced volume of certain parts of the prefrontal cortex, striatum, cerebellum, and corpus callosum. O reduced volume of certain parts of the occipital cortex, substantial nigra, cerebrum, and anterior commissure.

Give the brain region for the functions described. 1. Contains vital centers that regulate heartbeat, breathing, blood pressure, vomiting, coughing 2. Smoothes and coordinates skilled skeletal muscle movement; also posture and balance or equilibrium 3. Secretes melatonin that controls the sleep-wake cycle 4. Controls and integrates the autonomic nervous system; regulates hormones, emotional behavior, temperature, eating, and drinking behavior 5. Interprets sensory input, controls skilled skeletal muscle movements, and is involved in emotional and intellectual processes 6. Helps control breathing; conducts impulses to and from the cerebellum, midbrain, and medulla 7. Relays all sensory input to the cerebral cortex; involved in skeletal muscle actions and memory processing 8. Coordinates visual and auditory reflexes 9. Coordinates gross, automatic muscle movements; also involved with the limbic system 10. White fiber tracts communicating between hemispheres
