This study investigated white matter alterations, particularly changes in long-range fibers, in drug-naive children with ADHD. The results suggest that these changes may be related to the symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsivity.
Background: To investigate WM alterations, particularly the changes in long-range fibers, in drug-naive children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), we conducted tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) analysis on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data. Materials and methods: In this study, 57 children with ADHD and 41 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled. None of the enrolled ADHD children received any medication before data collection. WM changes were then correlated with clinical symptoms, including the hyperactivity index score and the impulsivity score. Results: ADHD children demonstrated decreased FA in the right forceps major, left inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus, and left genu Internal capsule. Moreover, higher RD was observed in the right forceps major, supe-rior longitudinal fasciculus, and forceps major. The results of linear regression analysis including learning problem score, hyperactivity index score and impulsivity score showed that higher earning problem and hy-peractivity/impulsivity symptom scores were negatively correlated with the mean FA value in the right forceps major, left IFOF and left genu Internal capsule. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that microstructural WM alterations and changes in the long-range WM connections are present in children with ADHD. We speculate that these changes may relate to the symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsivity.
