Document Summary
Single photon emission computerized tomography (spect) allows assessment of cerebral bl flow. Clinical utility of biological assessment measures of brain structure and function. The overall frequency of change (26%) is significantly diff from chance level: mri studies have consistently reported frontostriatal abnormalities w/ adhd patients, which possibly is a reflection of abnormalities in the dvpt of cognitive control. After compl"ng the timed test, the participant is asked to draw the form board from memory, showing the blocks in their proper location.
