1.24 Diffusion Tensor Imaging Findings in Children With Sluggish Cognitive Tempo Comorbid ADHD

Abstract

The construct of sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) is characterized with daydreaming, mental confusion, staring blankly, and hypoactivity. Previous studies showed that SCT is a distinct disorder from ADHD but highly comorbid with it. Although research distinguishing SCT from ADHD on sociodemographic characteristics, comorbidity patterns, impairment, and neuropsychological functioning increased; there is a lack of studies examining biological factors in relation to SCT.
