To elucidate this hypothesis we subdivided this study into three sections: (1) we assessed the functional connectivity of the NAcc in children with and without ADHD and performed a group comparison; (2) we then correlated, in a sample of children who performed a delay discounting task, the functional connectivity of NAcc with impulsivity, as measured by the task; and finally, (3) we combined these 2 initial segments to identify the NAcc connections that were associated with impulsive decision making in ADHD.
