In the current study, we aim to quantify diffusion measures at multiple nodes along the trajectory of corticospinal tract in ADHD children. We found altered FA and RD in distinctive CST regions. Besides, significant correlations between neuropsychological measurements and abnormal white matter microstructure implicated critical role the disturbed CST played in the pathology of motor deficits in ADHD.
