fascinating new paper that theorizes a broader neurobiological framework for ADHD that points to markers that can be tested and treated and explains more about the symptom cluster than previous models in summary, the paper introduces a model wherein the brain can’t properly regulate energy for the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for things like planning and impulse control. it can look like not having fuel at all (which leads to more inattentiveness) or only receiving energy in bursts and burning through it all way too fast (which results in the “two weeks of work in eight hours” phenomenon). by tying all the related experiences together, the paper hopes to create a diagnostic and treatment model that goes further than what we can do today.
