Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: genes, cognition and brain activity

注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）是一种常见的儿童精神疾病，其特征是注意力不集中和/或多动冲动的年龄不适当的水平。这种疾病似乎是遗传性的，有许多不同的基因可能导致ADHD的风险。我将使用多模式（遗传，认知，神经化学，生理）的方法来增加我们对ADHD从基因到疾病的生物学机制的理解。

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common psychiatric disorder of childhood that is marked by age-inappropriate levels of inattention and-or hyperactivity-impulsivity. The disorder appears genetic with a number of different genes likely contributing risk for ADHD. I will use a multi-modal (genetic, cognitive, neurochemical, physiological) approach to increase our understanding of the biological mechanisms leading from gene to disorder in ADHD.
