White matter (WM) abnormality had been studied with diffusion tensor imaging with inconsistent results while underline mechanism remained unclear. Present study performed in-depth investigation into WM abnormalities in a relatively large sample of ADHD children by using multiple diffusion parameters, including fractional anisotropy (FA), radial diffusivity and axial diffusivity. The relationship between FA and neuropsychiatric measurements was also explored. Increased FA with discrepant cellular alternating patterns was detected in left cingulate bundle and posterior-body of corpus callosum, and the alternation of FA correlated with some cognitive domains.
