Scientists scan baby brains to see if pollution causes ADHD

NCT ID NCT05368493

Summary

This research aims to understand if air pollution a mother breathes during pregnancy affects her child's brain development and risk for ADHD. It follows a group of Puerto Rican families and uses brain scans of infants to separate pollution effects from other factors like genetics or stress. The goal is to identify how pollution might change the brain and if reducing inflammation or improving sleep could help.
