Childhood trauma linked to changes in brain structure and connectivity, study finds Adults with a history of childhood trauma show measurable differences in brain structure and function, according to new research. The study found smaller surface area and volume in specific cortical regions, along with altered patterns of functional connectivity.

ADHD May Raise Dementia Risk

A new study reveals that adults with ADHD show biological changes in the brain that resemble early-stage dementia, including elevated iron levels and increased neurofilament light chain (NfL) in the blood.

These markers are commonly associated with neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Using advanced MRI imaging, researchers found excessive iron accumulation in specific brain regions of ADHD patients, particularly the precentral cortex.
