Low Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Children With Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Preliminary Results

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity/Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurobehavioral disorder of childhood with a high prevalence. From meta-analysis of imaging studies it has become obvious that dopaminergic misbalance in the forebrain and basal ganglia is involved in ADHD. The prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate, insula, amygdala and cerebellum are also probably linked to ADHD pathophysiology [ 1 Volkow N.D. Wang G.J. Newcorn J. et al.
