Children with ADHD are thought to have problems with the cerebellum, a part of the brain that controls the organisation and direction of thought and behaviour. Mr Dore's new theory gives rise to hopes that stimulating the dormant parts of the cerebellum, using a series of balance and eye exercises, could expand it and encourage it to work better without needing to use chemical treatment
I'm really interested to note that a non-chemical way may be found to deal with a brain disorder. Could this be a paradigm-shifting event as influential as the discovery that Troy was not a 'fairy tale' city but was historical with all that led to in terms of archaeologists taking 'myths' seriously as potential history [and a few wild cards like Erich Von Daniken, too]? Let's see, but if I were to go on my gut feeling, this is significant.
