[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 418526, member: 3930"] Good point Daisy! I believe that can definitely tie in. Thanks! I also read some research about ADHD not only being linked to areas in the brain that control attention and hyperactivity --but may also be related to abnormalities in the motivation and emotion centers of the brain due to lower levels of dopamine receptors and transporters in the accumbens and midbrain regions of those with ADHD. These are two key areas of the brain directly involved in processing motivation and reward. This may explain why focusing on tasks that are tedious, boring or uninteresting is so difficult for children and adults with ADHD. Interesting stuff. [/QUOTE]
