ADHD is associated with differences in brain structure and functioning. Neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and norepinephrine, which play a role in regulating attention, impulse control, and executive functions, are thought to be involved. Structural and functional ganglia, have also been observed.
Various environmental factors may contribute to the development of ADHD. Prenatal exposure to tobacco smoke, alcohol, or drugs, premature birth, low birth weight, and maternal stress during pregnancy have been associated with an increased risk of ADHD. Lead exposure and certain prenatal and early childhood environmental toxins may also play a role.
Traumatic brain injuries and other types of brain damage may increase the risk of developing ADHD symptoms or exacerbate existing symptoms. However, ADHD is not solely caused by brain injuries, and most individuals with ADHD do not have a history of such injuries.
