ADHD and Causation
Barkley explains the percent of ADHD that is genetic, and the percent that is environmental.
The Five Regions of the brain that are smaller with people that have the genetic cause of ADHD
Right Frontal Lobe (Orbital Prefrontal Cortex)
Basal Ganglia (Mainly Striatum and Globus Pallidum)
Cerebellum (central vermis area, more on right side)
Anterior Cingulate Cortex
Corpus Callosum (Primary Anterior Splenium)
ADHD children also have a 2 to 3 year delay in the growth and the size of these parts of the brain. Eventually as adults the size will for the most part equalize and only be 3 to 8% smaller.
Even though these parts of the brain are barely smaller, it is the electrical activity and how the brain that is wired that really cause the ADHD. Not the size of the parts but how those parts are wired and do they generate enough electrical activity to adequaltely use those parts of the brain in daily life.
Current medical imaging can't diagnose individuals for the size difference is too close and too subtle to normal. Yet look at hundreds or thousands of scans and patterns emerge.
The importance of twin studies and what twin studies tell us about causation.

It was 2 of my 5 adult children that are ADHD that said, "Mom, get tested. At the age of 64, I was diagnosed with ADHD.

Mine runs in the family. I had no idea my dad had it, but we talked at our family runion after my diagnosis and he struggled. Then I started looking at my cousins. Wow. Good thing our grandfather taught them to be innovators. Everyone's always building something. Too bad no one could do paperwork to get patents... my dad is an identical twin too.

He threw shade at Dr. Amen! Oooo!!
-
Why not film the slides too ?
-
It would be nice to see the slides
-
Hello good morning everyone! Guess who has a scar right over their right frontal lobe and recently discovered ADHD!!!
-
My parents both seem to have ADHD lol But who's gonna tell them? They're not diagnosed, just I am :D

My FAVORITE adhd channel!👍👍👏👏

When he mention if you're an adult with ADHD, 40 to 50% chance that your child will inherit it. Does that mean if one partner has ADHD and the other doesn't have ADHD. Your child will still have 40-50% chance of inheriting ADHD?

Yay I’m brain damaged
-
Gotta love the shade toward scientology 😂
-
wha are the things that cause ADHD during pregnancy? Can't see the slides. Would be great to know
-
I wish he would have elaborated on Dr Amens Spect scans more... why are they not legitimate? I might end up getting scanned there because it seems so convincing that it might help me figure things out more
-
I find myself curious... is there any research into pseudoestrogen contamination affecting fetuses in the frontal lobe
-
This guy goes “a three minute” presentation and it’s 10 minutes 😂 adhd time blindness confirmed.
-
This may be ADHD of me but where can I find the actual slides for this presentation
-
If MRI can’t detect the small difference in size of the brain sectors , how they know that ADD patients have smaller sectors?
-
i have adhd, autism, bipolar, chiari malformation, Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) , ocd, odd and Prosopagnosia (face blindness
-
Can you cause ADHD by focusing on learning using visual techniques early in life vs auditory?
