This paper replaces a localizationist view of cognitive, affective, motivational, executive, and sensorimotor functioning with a view that highlights connections among the neocortex, the basal ganglia and the cerebellum, and their interaction within the context of large-scale brain networks and systems that define the brain’s ‘‘vertical’’ organization. We use the behaviors or ‘‘symptoms’’ associated with ADHD to illustrate brain-behavior relationships within this interactive context. We emphasize a need to refine the current methods by which ADHD is defined and symptoms are measured.
