Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neuro-developmental disorders occurring in childhood, characterized by symptoms of age-inappropriate inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity, and the prevalence is higher in boys. Although gray matter volume deficits have been frequently reported for ADHD children via structural magnetic resonance imaging, few of them had specifically focused on male patients. The present study aimed to explore the alterations of gray matter volumes in medicated-naive boys with ADHD via a relatively new voxel-based morphometry technique. According to the criteria of DSM-IV-TR, 43 medicated-naive ADHD boys and 44 age-matched healthy boys were recruited. The magnetic resonance image (MRI) scan was performed via a 3T MRI system with three-dimensional (3D) spoiled gradient recalled echo (SPGR) sequence. Voxel-based morphometry with diffeomorphic anatomical registration through exponentiated lie algebra in SPM8 was used to preprocess the 3D T1-weighted images. To identify gray matter volume differences between the ADHD and the controls, voxel-based analysis of whole brain gray matter volumes between two groups were done via two sample t-test in SPM8 with age as covariate, threshold at P＜0.001. Finally, compared to the controls, significantly reduced gray matter volumes were identified in the right orbitofrontal cortex (peak coordinates [-2,52,-25], t=4.01), and bilateral hippocampus (Left: peak coordinates [14,0,-18], t=3.61; Right: peak coordinates [-14,15,-28], t=3.64) of ADHD boys. Our results demonstrated obvious reduction of whole brain gray matter volumes in right orbitofrontal cortex and bilateral hippocampus in boys with ADHD. This suggests that the abnormalities of prefrontal-hippocam-pus circuit may be the underlying cause of the cognitive dysfunction and abnormal behavioral inhibition in medicated-naive boys with ADHD.
