Summary
The objective of this research is to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with a neuropsychological task to test the prefrontal mechanism of action of the medical food Vayarin.
Detailed description
The investigators prior research suggests that effective non-stimulant treatments for ADHD act through key prefrontal regions that subserve inhibitory and executive functions, although different medications may achieve these effects via distinct mechanisms. The objective of this research is to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with a face go/no-go task to test the prefrontal mechanism of action of the medical food Vayarin. Participants are not treated at the Icahn School of Medicine, but instead will be recruited from trials of Vayarin that are enrolling and treating participants at New York University and The Medical Research Network.
