Different Neural Patterns Are Associated With Trials Preceding Inhibitory Errors in Children With and Without Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

These preliminary data suggest that brain activation patterns immediately preceding errors differ between children with ADHD and TD children. In TD children, momentary lapses of attention precede errors, whereas pre-error activity in children with ADHD may be mediated by different circuits, such as those involved in response selection and control.
