Rethinking Gifted Education
Gifted education is a broad term to describe programs and practices used in the education of students who demonstrate exceptional abilities to learn or reason.

ADHD in Kids: Attention, Motivation, And More
A recent study published in The Journal of Neuroscience used brain imaging to characterize the brain networks of young adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) compared to a group without it. The results showed that the frontal, temporal, and occipital cortices were abnormally connected within the brain of individuals with ADHD. The findings also revealed a deficit in both emotional/motivational and attentional/perceptual control systems in ADHD.
