> “For children with ADHD, as a rule, the part of the brain that is responsible for the regulation of brain activity – the reticular formation – is deficient,” said Sergey Kiselev, head of the Laboratory of Brain and Neurocognitive Development at UrFU, head of the study.

This is news to me, and I'm having trouble finding any good sources that talk about it. Anyone have any suggestions?

Our pediatrician told us that, too, but also said that confirming it with scans costs mid-five-figures (in the US) so nobody actually diagnoses it that way, but instead with surveys and self-evualation and such.
