Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

1.2K
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Boys with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) show different brain functional connectivity (FC) during a demanding task. These differences may stem from inadequate cortical network suppression, impacting task performance.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is increasingly linked to brain functional connectivity (FC) abnormalities.
  • Understanding these FC differences is crucial for diagnosing and treating ADHD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate functional connectivity (FC) differences between typically developing (TD) boys and drug-naive boys diagnosed with ADHD.
  • To examine FC during both a low-demand reference task and a more complex continuous performance task (CPT A-X).

Main Methods:

  • Utilized steady-state visually evoked potential event-related partial coherence to measure brain FC.
  • Compared 25 TD boys with 42 age/IQ-matched, drug-naive boys diagnosed with ADHD.
  • Assessed FC during a reference task and the CPT A-X.

Main Results:

  • Both groups showed similar prefrontal FC increases during the reference task.
  • Significant FC differences emerged in the CPT A-X task, specifically in the interval before target appearance.
  • The ADHD group displayed pronounced prefrontal and parieto-frontal FC increases not observed in the TD group.

Conclusions:

  • The observed FC differences in ADHD suggest potential issues with cortical network regulation.
  • Inadequate suppression of cortical networks may interfere with task performance in individuals with ADHD.
