Researchers believe this type of study confirms brain differences in those with ADHD compared to those without ADHD and may provide a biological tool for diagnosing the disorder. Also in 1998, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston reported biochemical differences in people with ADHD. They used brain scans to measure the movement of chemicals in the brain. A brain chemical called dopamine is transferred from one cell to another through neural networks in the brain. This chemical has been associated with movement, thought, motivation, and pleasure—the very tasks involved in executive functions.
PET can show blood flow, oxygen and glucose metabolism, and drug concentrations in the tissues of the brain. It can be used to identify the brain sites where drugs and neurotransmitters act and show how quickly drugs reach and activate neural receptors, how long they stay there, and how long it takes for them to leave the brain. Computers are used to process the information and to create two- or three-dimensional images of chemicals in the brain. SPECT SPECT scans are helping researchers understand the brain chemistry involved in learning disabilities.
