Goal-directed Behaviour in Adolescent ADHD: Neural Connectivity and it’s Significance for Clinical Translation [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Kristi Griffiths (Principal investigator)

Brief description Impaired goal-directed decision-making leads to significant difficulties in adolescent attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This research will use novel imaging techniques to study individual-level impairments in brain connectivity in decision making circuits and the effects of common ADHD medications. As these medications are currently prescribed by trial and error, identifying specific connectivity brain signatures will make major contributions to personalised treatment selection.
