Hallowell and Ratey provide insight into the neurology of ADHD, explaining that <strong>ADHD results from having a brain that works differently from those of neurotypical people. <\/strong>(<em>Neurotypical<\/em> means the type of brain that the majority of people have\u2014in other words, having no psychological disorders.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, the cerebellum is underdeveloped in people with ADHD. This part of the brain is responsible for things like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-learn-new-skills\/\">learning new skills<\/a>, regulating emotions, and making quick decisions, as well as physical balance and coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other major difference is a deficiency of certain <em>neurotransmitters<\/em>: molecules that carry signals to brain cells, muscles, and other parts of the body.<em> <\/em>The<em> <\/em>most notable deficiencies in people with ADHD are dopamine (associated with motivation) and norepinephrine (associated with concentration).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: ADHD brains aren\u2019t just structured differently, as described above; they also <em>work<\/em> differently from neurotypical brains. Some brain scans have shown that people with ADHD experience <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellmind.com\/the-adhd-brain-4129396#:~:text=There%20are%20alterations%20in%20blood%20flow%20to%20various%20areas%C2%A0of%20the%20brains%20in%20people%20with%20ADHD%20compared%20to%20people%20who%20do%20not%20have%20ADHD%2C%20including%20decreased%20blood%20flow%20to%20certain%20prefrontal%20areas.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">differences in blood flow<\/a> to various <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-are-the-regions-of-the-brain\/\">areas of the brain<\/a> compared to neurotypical people. Blood flow mirrors brain activity: More blood in a certain area suggests that part of the brain is more active, and vice versa. In other words, people with ADHD use certain parts of their brains more, and other parts less, than their neurotypical peers.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The authors add that, recently, many people <em>without <\/em>these neurological differences are showing symptoms that mimic ADHD. <strong>They call this VAST: variable attention stimulus trait. <\/strong>VAST occurs because modern society bombards people with constant stimulation and data from smartphones, social media, and the like. We receive too much information, and it comes too fast for the brain to process. ADHD-like traits, such as the inability to focus on the present moment and the compulsive need to check a smartphone every few minutes, are the brain\u2019s attempts to keep up with that deluge of data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: The authors <a href=\"https:\/\/www.additudemag.com\/attention-deficit-disorder-vast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">changed their definition of VAST<\/a> shortly after this book\u2019s publication. Now, instead of describing VAST as an environmentally-induced condition that mimics ADHD, they argue that VAST should be the new term for ADHD itself. Their reasoning is that ADHD isn\u2019t actually a deficit of attention\u2014it\u2019s a deficit of <em>control <\/em>over one\u2019s attention. They also disagree with calling ADHD a disorder because it isn\u2019t a purely negative condition. Therefore, they prefer \u201cvariable attention stimulus trait\u201d as a more accurate and less judgmental label.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What, exactly, is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)?
