Written by Vitria Adisetiyo & Joseph A Helpern

Much progress has been made in the last 10 years in understanding the neural correlates of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), yet there remains no established, clinically useful biomarker of ADHD [1]. Along with findings of aberrant brain volumes, cortical thickness, tissue microstructure, neural activation and neurotransmitter levels [1], recent findings of atypical brain iron levels have added another promising avenue to examine.
