Abnormal Gray matter volume (GMV) has been suggested to be an important neuroimaging biomarker of Attention Deficits/Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD). Present study compared GMV of drug-nave ADHD boys with well-matched controls using voxel-based morpphometry analysis, and explored the age effect as well as correlation with neuropsychological measurements. Decreased GMV was revealed in bilateral temporal lobes extending to amygdala, which showed positive correlation with some cognitive functions. Moreover, no significant correlation was found between GMV with age in ADHD boys, as seen in healthy controls, which might indicate an abnormal developmental trajectory of GMV in ADHD.
