		<description><![CDATA[Until now, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was related to alterations in the brain affecting attention and cognitive processes. Researchers at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and the Vall d&#8217;Hebron University Hospital have now discovered anomalies in the brain&#8217;s reward system related to the neural circuits of motivation and gratification. In children with ADHD, the degree of motivation [...]]]></description>
