Studies have shown a wide variety of genetic polymorphisms in attention-deficit-hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Genetically engineered mice models are therefore important in studying ADHD. Here we use MR microscopy to characterize brain morphometry in a recently developed mouse model of ADHD that involves neonatal disruption of central dopaminergic pathaways in CF-1 mice as well as in mice deficient of the dopamine-4 receptor.
