Abstract

In this article we discuss recent findings on the neurobiological mechanisms underlying Attentional Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD); specifically the dynamics of dopaminergic signaling and the default mode network, consisting of activity patterns generated during the resting state. Both phenomena have been related to ADHD, and we propose here a relationship between both dynamics, and how this can be affected in ADHD.
