The primary cortical regions thought to be implicated in ADHD include the prefrontal, orbitofrontal, and anterior cingulate cortices. A possible treatment approach for ADHD would employ a process designed to promote healthier function of the anterior cingulate region. The anterior cingulate in particular appears to be implicated in the activation of cognitive control networks, and has been posited as an area of interest for therapeutic research on ADHD. The subjects in this research study will be recruited through medical practice and enrolled in an 8-week protocol to undergo 8 consecutive weekly ultrasound sessions.
