Atention Deficit Disorder,


The lack of dopamin at the ACC as the cause of ADD

It is thought that the dorsal ACC is primarly involved in cognitive processing[1]. It is part of the learning mechanism, that learn the positive and negative outcomes of actions. It is also a reward mechanism, that gives "globals enrgizing factor", to actions that in the past seems to be rewarding[2]. Rats with lisions in the ACC, prefer less effortful mission with less reward, to tasks with more effortful with more reward[3].The ACC motivation mechanism is dependent on dopamin[4][5]. The Meutation in Dopamin receptor D2 may lower the amount of dopamin recived by the ACC, thus it may be the cause that make people with Atention Deficit Disorder (ADD), have lack of motivation to engage in effortful actions and decision making.
