Rapoport was a pioneer in studying the pathophysiology of ADHD
and neuropharmacological approaches to its treatment, and she was the
first to discover that some childhood psychiatric symptoms result from
autoimmune reactions to streptococcal infection, the first to
establish the link between obsessive-compulsive behaviors in children
and OCD in adults, and the first to use longitudinal magnetic
resonance imaging to uncover developmental abnormalities in brain size
and structure in children with schizophrenia.
