摘要: A computed tomographic (CT) brain scan study was conducted in 24 young males treated and followed up for hyperactivity since childhood. Compared to 27 matched controls, adults with a history of had significantly greater frequency cerebral atrophy. No differences cerebellar atrophy or lateral ventricle-to-brain ratio (VBR) were found. The possible associations perhaps stimulant drug treatment atrophic changes are discussed.
