Twenty unmedicated children with ADHD were randomly assigned to neurofeedback or no training and had fMRI scans before and after while doing attention and inhibition tasks. After training, only the neurofeedback group showed activity in brain areas that control attention and response inhibition, including the anterior cingulate and caudate.
