IS ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVE DISORDER – A NEUROGENETIC DISORDER
AbstractAn overview of the neurodevelopmental disorder ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), its consequences, and details on the brain regions impacted by ADHD are the driving forces behind this review. The hereditary basis of ADHD has been investigated. Throughout the investigation, numerous reviews and research publications were compared and examined. The themes covered in this article are (a) ADHD as well as its symptoms (b) the complexity of the brain regions affected in ADHD patients (c) and (d) linkage analysis for researching the genes of ADHD. The brain’s structure, development, and functioning will alter, according to review analysis results. The main brain areas involved include the cerebellum, parietal, Prefrontal and frontal lobes. According to the study, the thickness of the cerebellum will diminish, and the anterior striatal region will be most negatively impacted. There isn’t much proof that ADHD is inherited, although a few experts have suggested that there may be a connection between siblings’ ADHD and their DNA. For a complete understanding of the condition, a great deal more research must be conducted. The review’s study reveals the genetic interplay that occurs in ADHD patients as well as the impact of the disorder on the brain’s functional and structural changes. The paper also discusses drugs and techniques for treating ADHD. However, ADHD cannot be cured; all that can be done is treat the symptoms.
