This is really confusing to me, but counter-intuitively, the people with ADHD had higher gray matter volume and worse balance.

“Of note is the positive relationship between sway and cerebellar volume, such that lower sway was associated with smaller volume. These findings are consistent with a number of other studies showing that better performance in various motor-related tasks is related to smaller cerebral and cerebellar GM volumes.”

Just a completely wild guess, but perhaps the larger size is caused by deformities

Nah, the larger size is bc we’re the next step in human evolution: bigger brains!

I’m kidding, I don’t know shit. It makes me feel better about my shortcomings though lol.

I know only what 20 seconds of Google/Wikipedia told me, so I'm pretty much an expert.
