Reply to comment by Ruca705 in Study finds brain changes associated with ADHD remission. As the brains of those with ADHD mature, some individuals may repetitively engage in strategies that compensate for symptoms. These repetitive behaviors may result in the brain changes seen in those who went into remission. by Wagamaga

It might be related to the frontal lobe developing in the late 20s causing remission of executive function deficits.

Yeah, and I don't think it's impossible for people to remap their mind to some extent. We all know that therapy can prove fruitful for people with depressive disorders, producing documented change in gene expression. I don't see why targeted treatments couldn't work similarly for people with ADHD.

If you read the article, that doesn't appear to be the case. The new neutral activity was in the left motor cortex, whose function is to control the muscles and limbs on the right side of your body.

It's related to how when part of your brain is damaged, sometimes another part will assume the functions the damaged part was supposed to do.
