A German study will use PET imaging to examine cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) receptor availability in the brains of adults with ADHD, aiming to explore the endocannabinoid system's role in the disorder. The research seeks to address treatment gaps by investigating potential therapeutic targets beyond current stimulant medications. The study, involving 114 participants, is based on prior evidence linking CB1 receptor function to ADHD-related behaviors such as impulsivity.
