How does the brain function in ADHD? Discover the neurobiology behind the disorder.
Have you ever wondered what really happens in the brain of someone with ADHD?
In this video, Dr. Raphael Rangel — a neuropediatrician and specialist in neurodevelopmental disorders — clearly and objectively explains the neurobiology behind ADHD.
You will understand:
✔️ Which brain areas are involved
✔️ How neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine work
✔️ Why the symptoms go beyond "distraction" or "hyperactivity"
✔️ What science has already proven about brain function in ADHD
If you are a healthcare professional, educator, parent, or have a genuine interest in understanding the disorder in a serious and well-founded way, this video is for you.
And to delve deeper into the subject, take advantage of Dr. Raphael's physical book:
