Many parents today are experiencing the fact that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, is one of the most common mental disorders that develop in children. Children with ADHD have impaired functioning in multiple settings, including home, school, and in relationships with peers. If untreated, the disorder can have long-term adverse effects into adolescence and adulthood (National Institute of Mental Health.) In his recent book, “What Causes ADHD?”, Dr. Joel Nigg integrated a vast body of knowledge of ADHD into an understanding of genetic and environmental factors which may produce the disease, and framed the important research questions which need to be answered. Dr. Nigg is Professor in the Department of Psychiatry in the OHSU School of Medicine, and his research into this common but hard-to-understand condition will form the basis of this Marquam Hill Lecture, held in partnership with the OHSU Brain Institute’s 2010 Brain Awareness series.

The next Marquam Hill Lecture will take place on Thursday, April 16, 2009. Markus Grompe, M.D., will speak about prospects for cell therapy as an alternative to organ transplantation.
