OBJECTIVE By means of quantitative neuroanatomic imaging the authors assessed the hypothesis that there are structural brain abnormalities relevant to frontal lobe circuitry in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). METHODS The midsagittal cross-sectional area of the corpus callosum, divided into seven sections, was measured from magnetic resonance images of 18 boys with ADHD and 18 carefully matched normal boys. RESULTS Two anterior regions, the rostrum and the rostral body, were found to have significantly smaller areas in the ADHD group. These areas correlated in the expected direction with teacher and parent ratings of hyperactivity/impulsivity. CONCLUSIONS This finding supports theories of abnormal frontal lobe development and function in ADHD.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images.
