Brain signal reappears after ADHD symptoms fade

Synchrony in neural activity returns in adults who no longer have a diagnosis

OUT OF SYNC  Two brain regions, one near the front and one near the back, usually operate in tandem (left), as seen in a functional MRI scan. In people with ADHD, that synchrony is gone (middle), but in adults who once had but no longer have ADHD symptoms (right), the synchrony is back.
