Quoting from the BBC article:
"
The ADHD children showed evidence of a reduction in the size two areas of
the brain - one of each side - called the dorsal prefrontal cortices.
Similarly, there was evidence of a size reduction in the anterior temporal
areas - also found on each side of the brain.
However, the scans also showed substantial increases in grey matter in large
portions of the posterior temporal and inferior parietal cortices in
children with ADHD."
This's exciting because there's an obvious correlation to "internal frame of
reference" [IFR] with respect to front-center attention [AoK, Ap3 & Ap5 [in
the section that discusses curiosity]. The changes to neural structure
outline above correlate to heightened "passive [sensory-dominent; "be acted
upon"] phase" rather than acting "active [motor-dominant] phase". The
structural discrepancies observed also correlate to the frontal-motor and
posterior-sensory distributions in 'normal' brains.
And, clearly, the condition can be generated experientially - any
experiential dynamics that 'bash' action will result in 'adhd'-type
structural divergence from 'normal' nervous system structure.
That is, if every 'time' a Child 'gets his/her sea legs' with respect to
doing something, the Child experiences TD E/I(up)-generating activation from
other interactors [i.e. [typically] parents] the Child's nervous system's
neural structure will =definitely= 'move toward' the structural 'divergence'
that is discussed in the BBC article.
Please, please, please, folks, get it straight - everything that occurs
within nervous systems is activation-dependent.
My gosh, John, man-oh-man! this fronto-posterior 'gradient' that is
discussed in the BBC article is so awesomely-informative in light of the
"internal frame of reference" stuff that's reified in NDT. Thank you so much
for posting the reference.
It's 'neurosurgery' being performed by blindly-automated 'unlicensed
surgeons' - right-there, plain-as-day-to-see, when one comprehends the IFR.
