ADHD as a default brain network disorder

Some interesting research regarding the role of the default mode or default brain network and ADHD. Although the blog post is at the IM-HOME blog (conflict of interest - I am an external consultant to IM in the capacity as Director of Research and Science), most of the links are to other non-IM articles regarding the ADHD/default link. The Neuropsychopharm. article link and the link back to an annotated article (at the Brain Clock blog) published in Trends in Cognitive Science are important...IMHO
