We hear you love learning new fun facts with us. Well, that makes two of us. Keep on smarting, smarty pants. And now let's zoom in on the mind bending world of adhd. First question, which part of the brain is most linked to adhd? Is it A, the cerebellum? B the prefrontal cortex, or C, the hippocampus? Did you say B? Great job, smarty pants. The prefrontal cortex helps with focus and impulse control areas that can be affected by adhd. Next question. Which of these is not a common ADHD symptom? A. Hyperactivity. B. Forgetfulness. C. Super strength. Did you choose C? I can see you've been paying attention. While ADHD can come with incredible creativity and energy, super strength isn't one of the traits. Last question. What does ADHD stand for? Is it A. Anxiously Determined High Diver? B. Active Dynamic Hyperdrive? C. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder? If you said C, you are correct. ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, a condition that affects focus, impulse control and energy levels. Great focus, smartypants. Join us next Thursday for more brain boosting trivia. And if you want to learn more, check out our ADHD episode in the who Smarted archives. Keep on smarting and keep on having fun.
