There have been recent advances in the understanding in brain structure and function of some childhood psychiatric disorders however, no controlled neuroimaging studies involving aggressive childhood disorders and conduct disorders have been published (Peterson, 1995). Despite the fact that ADHD and conduct disorders are commonly comorbid, existent imaging studies of ADHD are not informative, because typically these studies have excluded youths with conduct disorder.

In her review of neuroimaging studies, Jackson (2005) commented on the inconsistency of results. The common finding is that studies of patients exposed to neuroleptics reveal a wide variety of anatomical abnormalities in the brain. As Lang et al. (2004) stated, Antipsychotic medications are known to alter the structure and metabolism of basal ganglia in humans and animals. ...
