Researchers identified three distinct brain “biotypes” of ADHD, each with its own chemical signature—offering new clues about why treatment can feel like trial and error.

Adults with ADHD may experience more bursts of sleep-like brain activity even while awake, causing brief lapses in attention. These micro “rest moments” in the brain could help explain why tasks ...

A new study published in J Neuroscience suggests that adults with ADHD tend to experience sleep-like brain activity even while they are fully awake. Here are why these findings matter and what you ...

Elaine Pinggal from Monash University, and colleagues assessed how sleep-like brain activity in awake adults influences sustained attention during a task.

Your brain, like a surly movie critic or a high school clique, specializes in rejection. The chief rejecter is the brain’s decision-making center in the prefrontal cortex, just behind your forehead.

If your mind never seems to shut off, it’s easy to assume you have anxiety—but that may not be the full story. This is ...
