What does ADHD do to the brain? Obviously, the hyperactivity, impulsiveness, distractibility, and restlessness inherent in this disorder have a root in the brain. And thanks to advances in brain scanning technology, scientists and researchers can take a look at the structural differences between an ADHD brain and a non-ADHD brain.

Om vi kollar på lyckade idrottsmän, de som blir etta, två och trea, de har garanterat en mental coach som hjälper dem att tänka i ”vinnartankar”. I form av: ”jag är bäst”, ”jag är en vinnare”, ”jag kan det här”, ”ingen kan slå mig”. Och vår dumma hjärna vad gör den? Jo, den tror ju på det här.
