Summary
This study looks at how sleep, physical activity, and daily rhythms relate to ADHD symptoms and brain function in 200 children. Kids wear a wristband for two weeks and complete cognitive tests and MRI scans. The goal is to better understand why ADHD affects people differently and to improve future assessments.
