A Review of Cognitive Disorders in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder with Emphasis on Executive Functions and Brain Structures

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by levels of attention deficit disorder, irregularity, or hyperactivity/impulsivity. Studies have shown that only a fraction of children with ADHD, and not all of them, suff...
