Reply to comment by ddrcrono 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
From all that I've read about it, that last sentence is not true. And your first: Yes, the "ADHD" brain is a multitude of factors, as is very sensible in our most intricate and advanced organ. The most prominent ones being differences in the frontal lobe and a faster reuptake of neural transmitters such as dopamine, which have a big role in motivation, focus and emotional regulation. An "ADHD brain" generally needs a lot more stimulation than a neurotypical brain.
