This study investigates why some children develop drug addiction as they grow older. It aims to understand what leads to risky decision-making in children by studying their behavior and scanning their brains using a magnetic resonance imager (MRI). Researchers will compare children at risk with typically developing peers to learn more about the brain's role in these decisions.
Participants will undergo brain scans using MRI, which is a machine that takes pictures of the brain. The study will include children with conditions like ADHD and those without, to compare their brain activity. Participants will be compensated for their involvement in the study.
- Who can participate: Children aged 11-12 years, both with and without ADHD or behavioral issues, are eligible. Participants must be right-handed and healthy, without a family history of substance use disorders or certain mental health conditions.
- Study details: Participants will have their brains scanned using an MRI, which takes detailed images of the brain. They will not receive any medication and will be compensated for their participation.
