Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

839
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....

Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

839
Introduction: MRI and CT scans are crucial advancements in medical imaging techniques, playing a vital role in diagnosing conditions related to the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Each scan serves distinct purposes, targets specific areas, and requires unique nursing duties.
Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

Functional Groups

88.0K
Functional groups are a group of atoms with characteristic properties, which when linked to the carbon skeleton of a molecule, alter the properties of that molecule. For example, the presence of certain functional groups on a molecule will make them hydrophilic, whereas others will make them hydrophobic. These functional groups are an indispensable part of organic chemistry and important components of biological molecules, such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Each...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

566
Description
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Neuroimaging
  • Visual Attention

Background:

  • Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) are noninvasive techniques used to study neural mechanisms of visual attention.
  • These methods, with complementary spatial and temporal resolutions, are often assumed to index similar neural modulations.
  • This assumption underpins their interchangeable use in constraining models of attention and stimulus processing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test the assumption that fMRI and EEG index similar neural modulations during visual attention.
  • To investigate how simultaneous manipulation of stimulus contrast and spatial attention focus affects fMRI and EEG signals.
  • To determine if fMRI and EEG signals can be used interchangeably for understanding attentional modulations.

Main Methods:

  • Simultaneous manipulation of bottom-up sensory input (stimulus contrast) and top-down cognitive control (spatial attention focus).
  • Subjects underwent both fMRI and EEG sessions using the same experimental paradigm.
  • Analysis focused on attentional modulation patterns in early visual cortex activity and evoked potentials.

Main Results:

  • Categorically different patterns of attentional modulation were observed between fMRI and early EEG components (e.g., P1, SSVEPs).
  • fMRI activation scaled additively with attention, while early evoked EEG potentials scaled multiplicatively.
  • Later EEG components (contralateral negativity, alpha-band oscillations) showed additive modulation patterns similar to fMRI.

Conclusions:

  • The findings challenge the interchangeable use of fMRI and early EEG potentials for indexing neural mechanisms of attentional modulation.
  • fMRI measures of attention are more closely aligned with later EEG components and alpha-band oscillations.
  • Joint consideration of hemodynamic (fMRI) and electrophysiological (EEG) signals is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of cognitive neural underpinnings.
