Jichi Medical School research team in Japan and the Central University recently announced that they developed a cerebral blood flow by detecting to determine whether children with ADHD approach and ready to further improve the accuracy of detection of the method is used to diagnose ADHD .

ADHD is a common childhood mental disorders, the main feature was "unable to calm down," "no focus", "impulse" and so on, most of them will lead to difficulties in complying with the rules, can not continue to do so on performance.

Earlier studies have found that ADHD children to solve the "needs patience" of the problem, its prefrontal region of the brain can not successfully play a role.

Jichi Medical School lecturer Kadota line history research team led invite 30 children were diagnosed with ADHD and 30 healthy children participating in the trial, the average age of the two groups of children were 8 years old.

The researchers let the two groups of children in the game once they see a pre-specified image on the press of a switch, while changes in cerebral blood flow with near-infrared detection device to check brain two children.

By comparison researchers found that healthy children when playing said game, before its frontal area of ​​the brain blood flow increases and blood flow forehead area children with ADHD is almost unchanged. Researchers believe this method can currently about 80 percent accuracy whether a judge Reviewed children with ADHD.

The researchers hope that these new methods to improve the judgment accuracy, to the eventual brain with near infrared detection means to diagnose ADHD.
