BREAKING MYTHS !
Let's bust some myths about ADHD - ADHD & Prefontal Cortex -
▪️ADD/ADHD, typically occurs as a result of neurological dysfunction in the prefrontal cortex.
▪️ When people with ADD try to concentrate, PFC activity decreases rather than increases as it does in the normal brains of control group subjects.
▪️ As such, people with ADD can have poor internal supervision, short attention span, distractibility, disorganization, and hyperactivity (although only half the people with ADD are hyperactive), impulse control problems, difficulty learning from past errors, lack of forethought, and procrastination.
