Outline of Research at the Start	ADHD affects number of children in the world. When a pregnant woman smokes, her child is at risk to develop ADHD. But when and how it occurs is unclear. Using the zebrafish, we hope to determine the timeline and mechanisms by looking at their brains and activity after nicotine exposure.
