Shaw and his colleagues compiled data from the brain scans of 446 children, half of whom had ADHD. The scans used new imaging technology that allowed researchers to "watch" some 40,000 points in the subjects' brains over time, and to figure out which specific regions of the brain developed, or thickened, at different rates. On average, in children with ADHD, the age at which 50% of the 40,000 points on the cortex - the brain's outer mantle - achieved peak thickness was 10 1/2, three years behind the typically developing kids whose cortex matured...

"For a Canadian, natural resources were a good fit," he conceded recently from his corporate headquarters in Toronto...
