The prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD) with a comorbid reading disability (RD)
has been estimated to be as high as 45%. ADHD children
with RD tend to have greater severity in cognition;
however, morphological measures differentiating ADHD
with RD from ADHD without RD remains poorly understood.
The aim of this study is to investigate differences
between subgroups in cortical thickness of key
implicated areas in ADHD. As expected, ADHD with RD show
a greater extent of cortex thinning than ADHD without RD
in the prefrontal, parietal and cingulate areas, when
compared to healthy individuals.
