Discriminative analysis of brain function at resting-state for ADHD
	 Abnormalities in prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex,
along with other areas, discriminated the ADHD brain from others.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=16685993

Should sex-specific norms be used to assess ADHD or ODD?
	 Authors argue for use of sex-specific norms for ADHD and ODD to
detect marginal girls who would otherwise not be diagnosed, but are
impaired.

emotional expressions despite normal task performance.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=16327784

Failing to deactivate: Resting functional abnormalities in autism.
	 Social impairment correlated with activity in ventral medial

Post-lesional cerebral reorganisation
	 Functional neuroimaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation were
used to assess post-lesional brain plasticity.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=16723211

Functional MRI to study brain plasticity in clinical neurology.

well as older children, which goes against previous ideas.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=16322161

Brain network dysfunction in bipolar disorder.
	 Bipolar disorder may arise from abnormalities within networks like
the the anterior limbic network, not a localized lesion.
