Thousands of Canadian children have neurodevelopmental conditions, such as autism, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and developmental coordination disorder (DCD). Knowing what parts of the brain are communicating too much or too little may lead to more accurate ways of diagnosing and treating these conditions.
