Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) is the most common psychiatric disorder affecting children, resulting in substantial costs (both human and financial) to the child, their family and Australian society. The outcomes of this project will provide a better foundation for understanding dysfunctional brain mechanisms in AD/HD, which is expected to lead to better diagnosis, treatment, and community support. Ultimately this will contribute to a healthy start to life for these children. This project will also demonstrate how an integrated Australian approach can lead the research agenda in both basic neuroscience, at the interface of psychology and physiology, and its applications in health.

注意力缺陷/多动症是影响儿童的最常见的精神疾病，给儿童、其家庭和澳大利亚社会造成了巨大的代价（人力和财力）。该项目的成果将为理解AD/HD的功能障碍性脑机制提供更好的基础，预计将导致更好的诊断，治疗和社区支持。最终，这将有助于这些儿童健康地开始生活。该项目还将展示澳大利亚的综合方法如何在基础神经科学、心理学和生理学的界面及其在健康方面的应用方面引领研究议程。
