    The study involved 44 children with ADHD, utilizing resting-state fMRI data to examine brain networks related to hyperactivity and impulsivity.

  • 2

    Connectome-based predictive modeling successfully predicted hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms with significant correlation coefficients from parent and teacher ratings.

  • 3

    Stronger connectivity between the frontoparietal control network and dorsal attention network was associated with greater symptom severity in ADHD.

  • 4

    Weaker connectivity was observed between the frontoparietal control network and both the ventral attention network and somatomotor network.

    The findings suggest that whole-brain functional connectivity may serve as a preliminary neuroimaging marker for ADHD symptom severity.
