- ☐ Impaired brain connectivity - limited physical brain networks of fibres connecting different parts of the brain - white matter. Methyl phenadate can help with this maybe.
- ☐ Impairments in coordination of brain rhythms - brain waves communicate that there is inactivity allowing the brain to wonder. However ADD can cause a problem communicating a change that activity is happening and so other essential parts of the brain can remain incorrectly inactive - hence diminished ability to focus.
- ☐ Delays in brain maturation - EF development is impaired or slow.
- ☐ Brain chemistry dynamics - neurotransmitter chemicals - inadequate release and reloading of 2 specific chemicals in the brain, specifically at the infinitesimal junctions of tiny neurons within complex networks. Stimulant medications. Imaging using FRMI.
- ☐ Money incentives must be salient and and I administered promptly can be effective. Medication and immediately available social incentives can both be effective.
